We got our big storm front in FL last week - got all the way down to 49° in Ft. Myers! Heck - I ALMOST thought about getting out my one pair of long pants - but I didn't!
Sorry guys, couldn't resist!

Well this one got me by surprise, ain’t had one in 3 years. Still got cockpit cover on. I going boat tomorrow. Gonna unsnap the cover behind helm seat. Let the snow accumulate in back of cockpit. And I think that will reduce the pressure on the canvas.
Just came from boat. Marina said leave cockpit cover on. For what you said, don’t want scuppers freezing closed then water backs up into boat. And don’t want engine hatch freezing closed. Saw lots of boats with canvas up. They said 3-4” by the bay, my canvas can support that for a day til I can clean it off.If that’s the plan make sure the scupper drains are clean and working. You want it to drain as it melts

We have that phenomenon here in Indy.... south of I70 gets hammered... north of I70 where I live gets nothing.... this includes Tornados, snow and other big storms...Not to mention 8” above 95 and 1” south of 95. Never seen a storm drop off like that...
You’ll be fine. I’m not buying any of this forecasting. Shoot, they are calling for 2-18” around Baltimore. What sort of forecast is that? Not to mention 8” above 95 and 1” south of 95. Never seen a storm drop off like that. We will get an inch and a lot of rain...
I totally agree about the forecasting.
Not very technical but a pretty good read.
