Otto's Got some Competition
 

It's 39* now in Stuart. Local weather reports there is moisture in the clouds....could we see some white stuff here???
Yo No Boner whats it doing up yonder :D

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

Its 28 at my house in Houston. All glass and paint work has been put on hold. Trying to figure out how to light the gas logs, never been used.
Hopefully folks up north are wishing us well.

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

You have my most sincere condolences for the inclement weather in the South. Global warming? An inconvenient cold front, perhaps. It's called Winter. We have 80 something days til Spring. Man up...

Chuck, I'll be back down on the 10th. Please arrange for a little better weather by then.

Finally this single digit weather allows us to venture out on the ice on the St. Lawrence River to get to Mink Island for a visit and a work session. Got gloves?

This cold bull $&!+ is for the birds. :o
Like Penguins !! :D

Been hovering around 34 since just after sun down....
Spent the evening freezing my arse off covering up the well
head, putting towels and gloves on all outside faucets,
Shutting off the water supply to the barn and my absent
neighbors campsite next to my house. Had to cover my
Coconut tree from Carla & Skip (Poor thing may not have a chance) Even fired up a heater in the barn, just in case.
Other than that it is just another day in the jungle.

If we get those predicted snow flurries in the AM.
I will try to get some pics. :D

Costa Rica is starting to look better all the time. :cool:

See ya, Ken

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

No Ag expert but before it gets to late, go spray everything with water, the ice will protect it. Thats the advice I get here in TX. Just wear warm gloves.

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

It's about zero here,

A dozen below or so with the wind.

Quit your whining you sun coasters. :)

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

It's in the mid fiftys here this morning and blowing about 30.Now I don't care what you say..That's cold here in the tropics!

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

26 here this morning, and we live on an island surrounded by the gulf and the inter coastal.

Even the flats boat could not get out this morning.

Low tide.

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

I thought our home was going to blow away last evening with gusts that must of been in the 60's. Having just returned from Key West i must say this does suck a bit.

Went to fire up the Suburban this AM and even it was unhappy making every noise I have heard from under the hood. I swear it hear it call me something dirty?

Anyhoo Providence boat show this weekend so at least we can dream of warmer times?

Re: Otto's Got some Competition

Tonite i think i'll lay up some glass,i should have plenty of time to work with it before it kicks.It should be cured by april.
Global warming? "yeah right.

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

You all can have that cold ass weather! It just ain't right here in the land of clear water,palm trees and sunshine.

Re: Otto's Got some Competition

Let's get the ice chippers and head for the George's Bank!!

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

Silver Sailfish Derby this weekend. This cold front should have the spindlebeaks surfing the alley. 2 yrs ago we had 2 quick ones come thru and Capt Ray Rosher on the Get Lit released 29 in 1 day. That`s not a typo.

Don`t look at this as an inconvenience, but an opportunity to Get Lit.

Having said that, I don`t miss my snow shovel in the least,and I wish I had access to a much bigger boat this weekend.

South Hero (VT) got pretty toasty by mid-day...all the way up to +8 F. Had -10 F this morning, but the wind had finally let up. Our side of the lake froze up during the night; time to get out the DN (iceboat).

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

They had flurries in Daytona and New Smyrna Beach yesterday, with an air temp of 33. It was 19 at my house in Dunnellon at about 6:30 am yesterday. Warmed up to 54, though. Today, low of 37, high of 62. Tomorrow, forecast low of 44, high of 74.

Re: Otto's Got some Competition
 

Our temps aren't quit that bad, but the wind is. You guys should get a kick out of this.
