Well the weather says its gonna freeze tonight for a little while. I'm gonna gamble this one, i was on the water today and i am not gonna winterize for a few hours. I've still got antifreeze in the block anyways plus i droped the trailertouge down lower so i could drop the drive to let all the water run out, any body think i could have truble? i guess globle warming missed the memo but 32 in april is not suposed to happen in FLORIDA. It hit 87 this week, this kinda stuff makes me angry.

32? bummer dude.......... we are supposed to get down to 42? tonight. Ain't seen 87 since last summer:eek:

Just drain your cooling system if you have any concerns. IF (and that is a big IF) it doesn't get below 32 where you are at, it won't break anything.

I just had to say something. Never thought anywhere in Alaska would be warmer overnight than in Floriduh this time of year.

It's 0 here right now. I think that's 32 the other way.

Sorry Fellas...

But I have no empathy for anyone in Floriduh regarding this topic. Ya, it sux. But so do the snide remarks that drift northward in December through March from the southern bretheren (and sister... you too LF!). I for one don't want to hear about it.

Re: 32 in april??

It is strange to look at the central and eastern regions this year. I was in Florida a week or so ago, nice balmy temperatures. This Friday, I took a half day off and took the kids fishing in our 78F weather, in Oregon, in the Pacfic Northwet, in April. Then I looked at the TV news, yuck. Feel sorry for you folks in the cold, but as someone said, its a bit of a turnaround.

Later,

johnbo

Well its really depressing to go from warm to cold in days. The weather channel says we will hit 84 by wednesday and i hope it sticks. I start my vacation on the 20th and i hope i can enjoy it. I had to get rid of some time in january so i took a week off and that had to be the worst week i have ever had off. I took the boat out one day that week when it was in the 70s then had to get it ready for the hard freeze later that week. I hate cold weather thats why i chose to live in florida. I really do feel for you guys up north its gotta be rough havin late summer and a short warm season. I just could not do it.
