Little Ice On the Prairie

With one-stop left in Oklahoma it was time to be introduced to winter camping in the van. Â We did successfully graduate from kindergarten so we had a basic understanding that winter is cold and the closer to the equator you get, the warmer it is. Â Yet, we overvalued Oklahoma being considered "South." Â While we were assured that ice storms are not common this time of year, that is very, very cold comfort when you are sleeping in a van in below-freezing temperatures. Â We woke up in a Pilot parking lot, flanked by roaring trucks and with an iced-over windshield.
