Arriving back from Rochester by RV, we got hit by a snowstorm. While in Saint Paul it was only raining, as we drove more up north, the precipitation got thicker and thicker. Ten minutes North of Saint Paul, I saw two cars in ditches. After careful driving, we finally arrived at the RV parking lot. The snow was coming down pretty hard. While trying to back into our space, the wheels had lost friction and spun in fury to get out of the miniature ditches they created. Our RV was stuck in an awkward position blocking half the pathway. Our FJ Cruiser also got stuck. It was already around 9:30PM and we were stuck in a small suburb with nothing nearby but a Gander Mountain. My parents and I had a very unexpected extra night in the RV. We were lucky that the heater was working but running water was a no go. I slept on the couch and we had some cereal but that was basically it. When I woke up the next morning, nature was calling hard. I could not use the bathroom in my natural way because there were security cameras everywhere. So I had to wait till the Gander Mountain opened. When I came back from Gander Mountain, a snowplow guy helped us get our car unstuck. We had to leave the RV as it was and come back when the snow melts park it properly because it was dangerously close to the next RV. The plowman said that it had snowed 14 inches. We got the FJ Cruiser out and drove back to the condo in Saint Paul where it only rained. 9/1o of not ever wanting to do that again but overall an exhilarating experience.
- 14 inches of snow in Mid-April! Minnesota<3
