Here We Go Again

Dream_Inn

Well, this is my back yard.  It is still coming down pretty good (about 2 more inches since I took this around noon.  Not sure the boat is going in on Friday!   I may go down and check on it since this stuff is heavy.  It just adds weight on the lift that isn't needed.  I'm still hopeful it'll melt quick!

No snow here in ny

I just finished using the snow blower on 5 inches of heavy wet snow. Supposed to get another 10 inches between now and early morning.

Just used the snowblower again on the driveway, at least 15+ inches! And still snowing!

Holy Cow DI.  My daughter lives in Fredrick.  I need to call and see how much she got.

Does this look like a place where just yesterday, it snowed nonstop for 12 hours?  Welcome to Virginia.

Handymans342

We are facing some flakes in Chicagoland as well tomorrow and cold temps.  Come heII or high water I'm launching on Saturday.  Looking at high of 40 degree high temp and lows in the upper 20's low 30's.

Just read a major storm might hit this weekend

4 to 6 for my hometown today (I'm in VT on the side of a ski slope right now eating lunch haha)... and yes, I heard blizzard for Saturday for NYC/LI/CT 

gack

Just removed shrink wrap and I'm going in April 14.  Rain or snow.

Stodge

I'm ready to push my launch date back to April 27. 

We were just in Missouri to see family and got 5 inches of snow over Easter.  All I packed were deck shoes.  Not the best for snow.

just wondering.  If temps are dropping into the 20's at night still...is there any risk to freezing if I do launch this weekend?  Daytime temps are mid 30's to low 40's and next week they are forecasting mid 50's.

Is it low 20's?  I'd think it would only be hitting those low temps for a few hours before dawn.  If it's sitting in the water, you should be fine.  Check water temps as well.

Saturday when I plan to launch they are saying high of 43 low of 22, but I bet you are right 20's would only be for a few hours.

Lake Michigan water temp appears to be 39 / 40 degrees.

LaRea

Just don't dewinterize the head or freshwater systems. 

J3ff

For sure there's a risk.. in the 20's.. I wouldn't mess with that.. 

Dream_Inn

well, I think it might be time for a little snow boating party this Saturday!  My boat is completely unwinterized & it's April!!  For some reason, they are calling for 3-5 inches of snow this Saturday.  I think it's a perfect time to crank the heat up on the boat and have a party while it snows!!!  There are at least two other boats on my dock that are uncovered as well, so maybe they'll be up for it as well.

How bout you @LaRea ?  I know you're in too.  I could see Diane dancing it up (maybe in your boat, not on the bow )

LaRea

Ditto!  Early this morning, weather.com was predicting 8-12 inches here, which is absolute nonsense.  Now they are predicting 5-8 ... as if anything's going to stick after 65 degrees the day before.  But I can definitely see us hanging out on the boat all day!

Matt Drudge says 18 inches on the cherry blossoms .

The seven inches from earlier this week finally melted in the rain today.  It looks like more to come Friday and Saturday in the NW hills of CT.  Another 6+ inches.  Glad i didn't unwrap the boat this week.  So far behind on work to be done.  Tentative launch date is 4/16...
