It's blizzarding out there right now...such a strange winter...was 56 on
Friday when we went out to the lake to make sure our tarp was holding tight
on Chanteuse. The manager of the yacht club just got back from the Keys and
was regaling a few buddies about his sailing adventures down there (not a
word of yellow Coronado's). Muskegon Lake was iceless...we debated about
dragging the dinghy out of its' berth and taking a row, since there was no
wind...no icebergs on Lake Michigan either. Now they're saying it's only
going to be 9F on Tuesday. Strictly Sail is the last weekend of January
this year and we're planning to go since we need to upgrade some
electronics. The Grand Rapids boat show is in November, but that's usually
pretty lame...mostly Hunters and Catalina's and the local marinas selling
slips....April is just around the corner.

Well,

Bellingham is clear with a temp. of 53 degress F but north and south of
us is getting the s--t kicked out of them. The Ice Storm really hit
Portland. Over 30000 without power.

There is another front moving in on us but it is a Pacific High. It
should be warm and get rid of the damn ice from the Canadian cold front.

Looks like the worst is over for us. AND; "I'LL DINK TO THAT!"

53, damn I think I hate you! Got up this morning to -29 (C), 38 below with
the wind-chill, I can't be bothered to change that into F, but it's frickin
cold whatever scale you measure it on, dogs were not happy, fastest pee I
ever saw!

Cheers

Here it gets all the way down to 45F at night, and will only get up
to 72F tommorrow, plan on sailing in the morning. Only thing that
freezes around here is what we put in the freezer.

We're just down the road from you, in Everett. My kids really enjoyed
the snow days; but I'm happy to be returning to our basic "45 degrees
and drizzly" mode, instead of frozen roads, etc.
