Dodging ice storms and tornadoes...

We left Canada on Sunday for the greener grass and lure of sheepdog trialing in Florida for a month, and sure enough didn't make it more than a few hours before being caught in a freezing rain storm, the last 15 minutes of white knuckled, very scary driving even as the rain froze to the windshield with absolutely nowhere to pull off and 15000 lbs of trailer behind us.

We made it to a Cabela's to wait out the worst of it...



...and watched as the ice storm slowly turned into a snow storm instead (great...snow hiding the ice)...



...and since trailers aren't meant to be driven in snow we waited until it melted enough for us to continue driving Monday afternoon.
We are now trapped at a KOA in Tennessee (where we never have any luck with weather) waiting for the tornadoes on our route to pass over (par for the course on these trips) so we can continue through Georgia to Florida and our first trial this weekend!
The upside is power, water and wifi here at the campground! We couldn't de-winterize the trailers and add water until we were far enough south in warmer temperatures. We are very excited about the running water. Things needed some freshening up, including us!
