adifferentbreed Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 How cold is it where you are? Damn I hate single digits. Way too cold for anything nautical. Quote
Willie van die Weskus Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Go South man - Go South! Try 32.47.07.50S 18.08.54.73 E Check it out on Google Earth to get you packing. Quote
Blacksmith Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 It is 5:23 am here, and 4 below zero (F). Don't think I will get much done on the boat today Stephen Quote
Guest Oyster Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Its going to be sunny and 72 today along the sandy banks, winds around eight to ten knots, favorable tides and good company is expected for a few hours, hopefully making for a nice day away from the sandpaper and epoxy. Quote
barryhill Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 7 degrees at the house. Likely a few less down at Lake Pepin. Will have to stay cold for the Lions' icefishing contest in Feb. Lots of open water last week. Stephen, any more word on the Duluth Harvest Festival? Spent last week at Gordon working my tail off so we can take a busman's holiday to San Diego to help the kids with their fixer-upper condo. Will be back that way after the first and less pressed. A small taste of old time northern Wisconsin for about 10 minutes last Saturday. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Its noon, and 52 degrees. It was below freezing last night ... I heard the heater come on several times. We have the giant desert tortoise in the family room (anyone know how cold they can get?) This is supposed to be a WARM area. I pay high state income taxes, and its too cold. I'm calling the governor! Quote
Charlie Jones Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 At 1430 here on the Texas coast, it's cloudy, windy and 74 degrees. Tomorrow should be much the same. However- the forecast for Monday looks particularly ugly. High of 39, 70% chance of rain , winds from the north at 23 to 29, with gusts to 38. I think I'll stay inside Quote
Terry Dunn Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 It is was -7 overnight and 6 above now (2:00 pm) We have somebody elses snow. When are they going to come and get it? Quote
Charlie Jones Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Hey- you guys up north- SHUT THE DOOR!!! Now our forecast is for freezing rain and or sleet possible for Monday night, Tuesday and Weds- :cry: ON THE TEXAS COAST fer cryin out loud. I mean C'mon- I'm only 3 1/2 hours from Mexico!!! Quote
John Turpin Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Oops. I just noticed my gate was open. Your cold blast probably came from my back yard. I've got an inch accumulation of frozen sleet and 22 degrees here in Oklahoma. Brrrrrr. Quote
Blacksmith Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 It does not look like the mess about at the harvest fest in Duluth will work for this year. They are not too keen on stink boats, and as that is the only one I can tell them for sure will be there.... I may see if the power squadron will help put one on. I will keep you posted.

PAR Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Cold as my ex-wife's heart a few days ago, dropped into the high 40 around 5 am. I had to put on a sweatshirt to get the snook off the BBQ the next day. It was 78 and low humidity today as I painted the house. Low 80's tomorrow, the poor A/C unit never gets a rest for long around here . . . Quote
kydocfrog Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Well, here in the great unwashed middle it is neither hot nor cold, just mucky wet. I'd rather have real winter than this. DocA in Kentucky Quote
capt jake Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 17 degrees last night. Expected high of 30. Unseasonably cold here for the past week. Actually had 'dry' snow fall here! :shock: Quote
Guest Oyster Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 So you get snow for your birthday party, Jake? :wink: Will you be able to blow the candles out this year, or will you get some help? Quote

lewisboats Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Dang...Guess the Bikinis won't be out today Quote
adifferentbreed Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 BUt they are on T.V.... Just found out I have to go to Milwaukee for a class from work, why can't they send you anywhere warm? Quote
Ken_Potts Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 "Just found out I have to go to Milwaukee for a class from work, why can't they send you anywhere warm?" They can - I'm being sent to New Orleans at the end of the month... (This is the first time they've sent me somewhere warm) Quote
Guest Oyster Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 NO would not be my choice for going anywhere even if its warm down there. I think i will stay right here and suffer through the rest of this terrible winter season. Will I ever get any paint and varnishing done on these boats around here? posting a-----------------better not=======maybe could be held liable for the undue stress caused upon the weak at heart or ones stuck in the ice across the country. :twisted: What a weekend finishing up with today on the water. Bummer now back to work tommorrow.. Quote
