Default Winter Boating in Upstate New York, Global Warming??

Here's how to enjoy a boat in Buffalo during the winter:

I think I'll stick to 45 degrees and drizzling. :-)

(Talk about boats that would be affected by climate change!)

That's your year-around water temp, right?

It's a bit warmer than that in Puget Sound, varying from about 48-52
degrees during the year. Some of the inland lakes can be warm enough
for comfortable swimming.

45 degrees is a typical air temperature in November. Just like Puget
Sound, the air warms up to about 52 in the summer. :-)

It *is* strange around here. Back in February, I was driving down the shore
of Seneca Lake, which pretty much never freezes, and it's got loads of lake
trout. It was about 5 degrees, stiff wind, blowing snow, and there were two
30-ish foot boats out there with downriggers. It's that, or cabin fever,
kill the family and eat them. The shining! :-)

52F water temp? In the summer?
Hehehehe.

Jesus. I'd sooner go bowling. Bundled up boating isn't my cup of tea.

Harry,
Let's be honest, you would not boat one hour more, or one hour less in
Seattle than you do in Maryland.

Have you ever thought about taking up bowling?

Northwestern boaters must take their lives in their hands every time they go
out.......even in mid July. 1-3 hour expected survival time in those sort
of water temperatures.

I really don't get the point of boating in a cabin.

I guess this means that there's no danger if your boat sinks from under you
in Lake Erie in the summer!
