I doubt a few hours below the freezing mark will hurt an engine, especially the ones sitting in or over the water.

I bet it'll feel like the Artic to the locals down there.

 

When I lived in Destin we would get nights in the 20's at least a few times a year. It is Friggin freezing! when it is like that there, with the wet wind blowing, brrr.


My Mom is in Pensacola, she closed up the storm shutters last night, lol.

It is a serious problem, especially for people who live near poverty down there, they don't really have heat.

 

There's no shortage of the pink stuff down here. I know a guy who knows a guy who can get me as much Pepto Bismol as I can use. That and Beano and Depends.

 

It was supposed to drop to 28, and be below freezing for 6+ hours, though I don't think it ever got that cold. I was up right before daylight, and it was 33 degrees. It's not supposed to get as cold tonight, they are calling for a low of 40.

 

it was 21 here last night and I am just above you, Tonight is supposed to be 23....and today only got to 38

to cold down here.

 

21 degrees in Georgia! It only got as low as 22 degrees at my place on the upper Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland!

Somebody needs to call Al Gore and have him explain this!

Exactly, It was -2 here last nite, what happened to this global warming thing, I was kinda looking forward to it..... :

I tried, but he's runnin' so much damn electricity that you can't talk over the hum. Sounded like a damn vibrator next to the phone. Hmmm. Maybe it was.

BTW: 20's is shortsleeve weather to us this time of year.

It was 30 here in Leesburg at 7:30 this morning. Not to sure what the wind chill was, but we had a pretty good breeze.

 

Still getting the influence of the water here at the house. The TV weather report has the temp this morning at the airport to be 17 degrees. My very accurate outdoor reading at the house is 21 degrees, very typical spread this time of the year.

When I leave the house the temperature reading in the truck will confirm the outdoor reading I get with my outdoor equipment.

I drive a couple miles up the road (away from the water) and the temperature will be 3 to 5 degrees colder!

The opposite happens in summer.

Love living on the water! :

 

Wed and Thur were no fun, but I'll be on the St. John's River tomorrow!!!

 

I'm in MS......I usually just pull the block plugs.......usually it's 4 total. We've had a few nights of below freezing temps.....but it's not too bad. I guess it all depends on how long the boat is going to be sitting. For me it's a few months.....which is why I just pull the plugs so no water is left in to freeze. Then come late Feb/ early March I'll put em back in and fire it up.

 

I put her were its nice & warm

 

Damn Dipstick! Wish I had a garage that big!
