January 12, 2013 Cold in Arizona

Well, I owe the newscasters an apology because it really is pretty cold here today.  When the sun is shining on cactus and there isn't a cloud in the sky or a snowflake on the ground, it doesn't look cold.

But 27 degrees is cold, whether or not the sun is shining.  The water lines froze last night but Randy was prepared for it.  He had unhooked our lines so they wouldn't burst, and today we are using water from our fresh water tank.  And just a few days ago he replaced our portable oil heaters with little electric heaters.  The oil heaters worked good but they did take up space, which is always a consideration in an RV.  These new heaters are about the size of a Kleenex box and they put out more heat.
