I know winter will be here soon as its getting colder. Two days ago it was +5 in the morning.
Add 70kmh wind and rain to that and it makes for no boating. I have been on holidays for a week now and I would like to get my boat wet for the first time this year.
Supposed to be windy and cold for another week. The local snow dump isn't even close to being melted yet. I don't think it will melt away before the first snow.
C'mon heat!

WoW!!! I lived in NE Ohio, near Lake Erie. Thought is was cold there, nothing compared to where you are. Then I moved-- No more snow! Boat/fish all year-- why did I live up there at all?

5C? I guess that is a little colder than yesterday morning when we went skiing, it was 49F. It just makes the water feel that much warmer.

We had 44-46F for lows around here.

I see they had 46F for a high where I fish up in Canada.

Just too dang early to think this way.

It was 82 at 10am due to rain last night and the ocean is 83.2. No need to winterize the boat here-- fish all year.

It made the upper 30's here in MN last week. A bit cold for mid-July.

4 degrees this morning. It is getting close to frost. At least the nothing in the boat can freeze since it hasn't been in the water yet.
I predict snow in early September.
Al Gore, you may have invented the internet but you are wrong about this warming thing!

I believe ya. I spent a year at a radar station in Dana in the late 70's. Coldest year of my life.
