20-25 C, 15-20 knots of wind on the Channel and I was out paddling for
an hour before work this morning. At least 4 months of this to
go.......

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
