I'm with you John!

I had plans to pull out the old boat this weekend to get her prepped for sale (I'm bringing her to a broker but I want him to set a nice high price!) but now it's getting buried under what's predicted to be a foot (A FOOT!) of snow! Damn!!!

I could have handled this storm a week ago - I am now, officially, done with winter!

Keep thinking about Block Island in June - It helps me get through these days...

One quick glance outside confirms winter is still here in NW Connecticut.
Blowing pretty good, looks like at least 2 to 3 on the ground already...lots more to come unfortunately.

The view outside my window right now would be a beautiful winter scene, it it were Jan or Feb but not the middle of March. I AM SICK OF THIS WINTER! I am so anxious to get started with this boating season I can hardly wait. Lots to do on the boat and I bought a new docominium for my slip.
John, I feel your pain. Denis

Welcome to March ! It will just make us appreciate good boating weather that much more (if and when it ever arrives this year).

O.k. This is it! Today is the last day of Winter. Time to break out the shorts and show off those pasty white legs. My wife was making fun of my "chicken legs". Doesn't matter what the temp is this weekend.
Don't look for me. I'll be "down the boat".

We only had one day of snowfall this year, but it stuck around on the ground for almost a week. Unfortunately, that week happened to be the one where I was in Florida. Go figure. I was slipping and sliding on my way to the airport as the first flakes fell, and then started to really come down. When I got back, it was almost all melted.

We've already had three 70 degree days this month, but last night it dipped below freezing. So unpredictable.

Crazy winter here to. Went to the Maine Boatbuilders show last Friday, sexy Downeast boats / lots of teak / real craftsman. Any way 10 inches of snow Friday into Saturday and 60 + degrees tomorrow !! Bring it on
