So as I'm sitting in my house and writing this thread I feel compelled to bitch.........I would like to say the last 2 weeks its been cold /cloudy and raining and the up coming week is the same. Mothers Days looks nicer, but 20 mph wind.... I can't win.

I know we had an "omega" jet stream, but that was last week....Ok, last week is explainable, but what about the other weeks.....no luck

Is it only the north east (MD) or anybody else have the same weather?

Anybody doing a mothers day boat day on the upper Chesapeake tomorrow (5/8)?
 
Sucks here in Boston also. I feel your pain.
 
Yup. Same in mass and wouldn't it figure that it will be nice on Mother's Day and I have to go see the mother in law. Double whammy!!
 
Totally have been feeling your pain...until today. The sun peaked through the clouds and the temp climbed to 60...which meant the boat was going in the water.
Strapped on the wetsuit and boom I was boarding! Chilly water temp (sub 60's I'm guessing) but damn did it feel good to be out of the house and on the water!

Sorry about the lousy weather, #1 reason we moved south.
 
Weather has been absolute shit for the last 2 weeks here in CT.
Rain and cold!
 
86 and sunny in Portland!! Sorry to gloat...it was a very rainy winter.
 
Ohio weather has been up and down...it pretty much sucks. However, my boat has been in the shop for two weeks (they've had it longer than I've owned it) and is supposed to be done this week. Fingers crossed !
 
Illinois weather has been psycho as well. It was in the low 80s on Friday so I busted out of work a bit early and put the boat in the water. Gonna be low 70s today, so may try to make it out. Otherwise, this week and next weekend are calling for 40s/50s/60s. UGH!

Same with me down here in Southern Maryland... weather has been awful :\
 
I'll take it! We had a super mild winter here in PA, so if I have to have a couple weeks of rain so be it. Soon will be sunny and hot for boating.
 
It's been so crappy I haven't even called to get the boat put on a work rack to recommision it yet!! On the upside if this continues I should have a harvestable crop of mushrooms instead of lawn that requires constant mowing.
 
Been aweful down here as well, had to buy my second bottle of sunscreen and it's not even June yet. Ugh! :D
 
Southern Chester County Pa, I keep the boat at a marina on the elk river in Maryland.
 
Same crappy weather in NJ, no boating days yet.
I am so bored I ordered a few goodies to spend some time on the boat. (gator guard, new intercooler, lettering with boat name, and a few other miscellaneous.)
 
I agree this weather has been sh$tty, but considering I'm not normally on the water until June, I can't really complain.
 
Crossing fingers and knocking on wood, it seems that someone has flipped the switch. 60 and rainy to 90 and sunny in the blink of an eye.
