Too cold to do anything fun!

Man...I can't even take my kids out sledding. They're freezing their feet, hands and faces off after 20 minutes in single digit temps, below zero wind chill. It's been a brutal few weeks.

I'm hoping this means we're going to have a long hot summer for 2018. Michigan deserves a good one...
 
Been extremely cold here in Maryland but still have to check the ice eaters at the marina daily
 
Just under 12 weeks until Spring &/or boat season! I'm ready.

I hope so too. Monday I will be reserving our Muskegon State Park July camping trip. Last July it was too cold to take a nice leisurely swim in Lake Michigan.

Minus 10 in Indianapolis this Morning.
 
We're set to Splash the last week in April. Later than most, but Chicago harbors don't "technically" open until May 1st.
 
Thanks. I need to plan my travel up there and I'm debating on waiting another year, allowing the web to do it's thing.
 
Three more weeks here +/-. I'm pretty deep in the storage building so I'll likely trend to mid/late April. Looking forward to it at any rate...
 
My 400DB is up in Sturgeon Bay. The marina up there doesn’t open until May 1st. I splash on May 4th and will bring her home on May 5th.
 
Weather permitting, my boat will be in between March 23rd to March 28th. I'm Ready, other than connecting the batteries and replacing my dock lines.
 
Thanks for sharing.
