ROFL. Wow that's the spirit. Practice those moves before you head out. I see no fun in snow. Absolutely no fun in cold. I don't care what anyone says lol.
 
You and me both....

I'm just sitting here garage boating waiting on spring :(

So sad! Just hang on folks, looking like an early spring this year. I say 2 more miserable months and half the members will be back on the water. Sweater on or not I guarantee it.
 
Whenever I think its cold here in Pennsylvania I just look at the weather in Fargo, ND and it warms me right up. Looks like a heat wave is coming on Wednesday. lolIMG_0345.JPG
 
Ouch! I guess looking at Fargo's weather doesn't work for you. Not that its much better here. Feels like 17 with snow on the way.
 
Geez I don't know how you all do it up there. In Oklahoma coldest probably will be all year this week in the mid 20s. Next week 50s and 60s. Any thing under 50 is not feasible for me lol.
 
You wanna talk snow? Here's a link to my Alma mater's web-cams: http://www.mtu.edu/webcams/

That's 10 miles from my Mom's house. She's getting what they are getting.

And, of course, "John Dee's Almost Live Cam" which is just down the road from Mom's place (That table gets cleaned off every 24 hours. Apparently the wind has blown the snow over the measuring stick so you can't really read it right now):

If you're into snowmobiling or skiing the Keewenaw Penninsula of Upper Michigan an awesome place to be.

Alas, Mom has been shoveling snow every day for the past week. (She's turning 80 in August.) She doesn't want to hear about the little patches of leftover snow I have in my yard here in SE Wisconsin.

When I first moved here it took me a few years to get used to the concept of NOT needing to shovel (at least an inch or two) of snow every dang day before leaving for work.
 
Ya that sounds like way too much work! especially in the freezing cold. Thank God I come from warmer climates.
 
They are forecasting snow for here in Atlanta this weekend! Time to make a run on the grocery stores, and shut the city down. I will be back on here first of next week if I survive.

Matt I find it funny that with the thought of snow and ice in Atlanta it will keep you off of here all weekend?

What else could there be to do besides be on here all weekend if there was snow and ice. Stay indoors man make a big pot of chili and stay warm and safe. See you in the SPRING. :)
 
I routinely find myself justifying a reason to go out storage to mess with something on the boat. Yesterday went out and removed the batteries (cold weather coming this weekend) and just decided to hang out in the boat for a bit. Should probably go out this weekend and make sure all the screws, clamps and bolts are tight... :)

haha, I was just making fun of how us people here in the south panic and go crazy at the first mention of snow. The grocery stores have been wiped clean, and the entire city is shutting down today by 2.
 
-32C here next week. I would go boating but it takes to long to cut a large enough hole in the lake. Cam.
 
Glad to see they have the flag out, water patrol would have nailed them for sure!

And then it just freezes back up after you are finished getting to the end of the cut! I feel your pain... :confused:
