Re: record cold in Fl

For us northern people (at least in Ohio) this has been one of the snowest, coldest, and not even close to the average temps for the month of March. It is so aggravating cause I can't get any outside work done to the boat. And then to think I want to launch in a couple of weeks? Brrrrrrrrrrr :D

TD,,,,,put on another sweater :D and maybe an extra pair of socks..........I'll just be glad to put the long johns away for the season,,,,,,they be bad for the skin conditions..........SS

It's 42* right now; low tonight is 33. The ground is still about half-covered with snow.

My office is next to a linear park path, next to a creek. There've been people walking and jogging on the path in T-shirts today.

I ran the boat the last five days, 80 - 90, Colorado River and down into Lake Havasu :p Sorry. Couldn't help it . . . Well there was a little wind, and the girls said it was freezing unless we were wakeless or not underway :rolleyes: for the guys it was pretty much perfect, no shivers and no sweat, shirts off most of the time :cool:

Oh, you're entirely welcome . . . I post these public service anouncements just to help answer the "why the heck would anybody live there?" questions that are often on the minds of the un-enlightened.

Good luck with the rescue. Sounds serious . . . :eek: :D

Re: record cold in Fl

Back in the late 70's, I moved from doing a 3 year tour in Brunswick Maine to Milton Fla. Wouldn't you know that the first night I stayed in Florida, I woke up to 3 inches of snow on the ground. Of course it was gone by noon. My new neighbors blammed it on me of course. They said I brought it with me. They said when the saw the snow tires on my vehicles something was wrong.

Yeah, the north is cold in the winter,,,,,but NO BUGS! :D sniff sniff, no boating in the winter either ,,,,,,more sniffles and crying right now But there is still ice fishing!

Re: record cold in Fl

were below freezing on march 25th.

So what did I do?
Summerized and fired up the boat on the 24th.
The wife doesn't know it, but both of her heating pads went on the outdrive and engine.
