Winterizing Assistance?

Just thought I'd check to see if any of you in suddenly snowy Texas or the southern states need information on how to winterize your Nomads!

Just wanting to be helpful.

Same here, but it's going to be a couple days before all this melts off. Had 13" at my house this morning.

I'm just glad the roads didn't freeze over last night, but we aren't outta the woods yet!

According to NOAA we all could winterize. Today is the only day in recorded history that there is snow on the ground in all fortynine states.

Aloha,
Thanks, but no envy here: It's true you can ride. No snow.............but only local trips! Nomads were made for crossing state lines!

Yea there is road salt but when I get home I quickly blast it off.
In most cases if the roads are wet I normally will not go out.
But if they are nice n dry and the temps are above 30ish then Im on the road...
