Neither rain nor snow not sleet nor hail...

Yes, we had the opportunity to experience all of these weather
phenomena camping in Bryce Canyon. The first night temperature
dropped to 24 degrees. Selected for camping in Florida, our tent held
up to the frost. As for me, Tom says I shook like a vibrator all night.

Next day warmed up a bit; our low was more like 34. But what a treat,
we got to experience both a snow storm and then sleet (looked like
raining those ice cream dots!)

But the sky was clear both nights and we've never seen so many stars
(as we trudged to the heated bathroom in the middle of the night).

My bathroom trip would make a funny movie scene. All night they pipe
in easy listening satellite music. I'm shivering alone in the
bathroom on the john listening to "Feelings," theme song from Romeo
and Juliet and "Precious and Few" -- felt more like a hotel lounge bar
than a campground.

Off to warmer spots!
