It’s 26 and the sun’s shining bright.
I’m working outdoors with just a light sweat shirt on and I’m starting to sweat. It’s amazing how the body adapts to the climate your in after a few days.

It is not cold enough here, so heading up to the Boston area, maybe it will be a little colder there ...

Stick around Pa a little longer, expected temps in single digits with 40 to 50 MPH wind this coming weekend in Montgomery county. Wind chills -15. Fun times, can’t wait.

Every outboard I have ever owned has the mfgr. stating that their motors should be stored vertically if temps are going to go below freezing ! That is the only position where they completely drain.

The cold destroyed a fishing boat that had gone out of Gloucester. The salt water spray froze onto the deck and rigging, it became top heavy, capzised and went down together with its crew. No survivors. It was a boat and crew that were featured in the "Deadly Catch" tv series. Let them rest in peace.

Was talking to dad the other day... he was joking about how cold it's been and that we'll find out how well the non-toxic -50 actually works. :LOL:

It’s very sad. RIP to the Captain and Crew.
We lost a couple local scallop fishermen on New Year’s Day. A squall came in tangled a line in the lower unit and flipped the boat all in a matter of seconds.
