Winter Weather

[Bob Cofer]

Baby it’s cold outside! 18 degrees outside and the heater is set and 40 and working quite well.

We’ve got over 6” and it’s still coming down.
But we’re 30 miles up the Skagit Valley from Burlington.
Much more in the 10 day forecast.

80 here in Fort Myers with no snow in the forecast. Going bicycling and then a swim in the pool. Air conditioner is running infrequently.

John Wayne Marina, Sequim....6" inches yesterday/last night, more coming...don't you just love a white christmas?

 

[Comodave]

We had a couple of inches and thought we would have a white Christmas but it rained Christmas Eve and it was gone in the morning.

Great, now I can worry about my bridge enclosure with that snow on it! Hopefully the bows can take the extra weight. One of the drawback of being 800 miles from the boat is we can't run over and check it. I wouldn't want to anyway, last time I was in Anacortes in the snow it was downright scary - Canadian trucks blasting down I5 at 65mph.

Here in CA the main transcontinental freeway (I80) has been mostly closed for almost two days. Snowfall is measured in feet - about 4 feet in the last 36 hours. Drought ended with a bang!

I hate you Ted!


Oh, and a good thing we filled up the water tanks yesterday, because today all the facilities are frozen at the marina here. Our 500 gallons should keep us for awhile. And heat isn't a problem as long as the diesel holds out!

 

[GoneFarrell]

On my Farrell trawler tonight. First time I've bivouacked on a floating snow cave!

Wifey B: We had a couple of nights it dropped into the 50's but no days under 70. Today is high of 79 but cold tonight, dropping to 68. Tomorrow 82 followed by low of 69. Perfect paradise.

We're out on the water today, just open running and enjoying a quick day trip with a couple of 7 year olds and some 20 and 30 somethings who are enjoying like the 7's. Just a picnic aboard in the keys and then back home.

Our first time out on the water in a while so really having fun. Looking forward to January boating around here as many of our closest friends will take some time off to go with us.

Wifey B: Guess you'll be hating me too when you read my post.

So far winter in New England has been cold and windy,and about 40 inches of total snow,two storms with gusts around 70,was a good test for my custom machined solar panel mount,and already replaced my flag

 

[O C Diver]

We had a tornado go by the marina while Courage and Slow Hand were in Tarpon Springs (timing is everything) back in January. Let me check the snow accumulation gauge to see what we've gotten so far this winter in Fort Myers.
