Every time I check the radar lately it looks like this.
I’ve never been in cold weather like what’s in the Mid West right now, do these conditions severely

hamper your daily routines?
I’ve spent a few days at a time in North Idaho in winter and everyone carried on as usual, but it wasn’t nearly this cold, just snowy.
Also, when can you normally expect to comfortably get out on the water in the spring?
Trailering up to Lake Michigan for a couple weeks is on my bucket list for summer ‘22.

Crazy here. We are pushing the all time low which is -13 and we are -9. Also pushing toward all time longest under freezing which is 13 (1983) days in a row. We are 9 and counting- not forecasting above until maybe Saturday. Now they are talking Rolling Black outs- Idiots- Solar- Yea that's the answer lol.
I actually winterized the Fino this yr. First time in about 10 yrs for the Slo Boat.
Talking 50's next week-
Damn Ground Hog- Somebody needs to Eat his aZz lol

12 degree here in central Louisiana. Ive never seen it like this before. I dont see how you yanks do it... I went out last night to let the dogs potty and my left nut stuck to my leg. I had to get my wife to blow on it so it would thaw out...

Maybe now you southern guys understand why we northern melt and hide in high 80’s and above. My favorite temp to work in is low 60’s and sun. Totally comfortable working outside from say 15*f + with no gloves if no wind.
