Unhappy Jacksonville Fl. I/O OSOer's

What are you guys doing for the cold snap tonight? Draining your blocks or dropping a work light in the bilge? I'm thinking about the work light in the bilge...

Nothing.

work light couldn’t hurt though.

I think the wind is going to keep the air mixed. (warmer).
Forecast for NE FL about the same as inland SW FL.

Inland central FL will probably see upper 20’s though.

Exactly, and I've got (2) boats stored outside at Mystic secured storage in Deland, kinda on the edge of area of concern...

General rule of thumb is 24 degrees for 24 hours to freeze an engine block enough to cause any damage…. I wouldn’t worry about it.
