Winter cold in NW
Four days and it hasn't gotten above freezing.
The weatherman got everything right except the temperature. We've had 6
inches of snow and so far, 5 hours of freezing rain. The whole of
Washington State is a damn skating rink.
I sure hope we don't lose power. My boat is only a mile and a half from
my house but I'm on a four hundred foot hill and I know I can't get to
it.
I just telephoned a live aboard ten boats down from mine. He has a key
to my boat and he said it looks OK. He said he found my "Heat Pal" and
he'll fire it up if the power goes off.
This is the worst cold spell we've had since 1996. I'm kind of sorry I
put "Pneuma" back in the water last Labor Day, when she was out for her
bottom job. Oh well, It is supposed to warm up tomorrow. Hope so!
