My fault, I confess.
I clearly angered old man winter by uncovering the boat too early.

Tim,
I can sympathize with your pain, as we too are experiencing a late season cold snap. It actually dipped into the 40s last night, and will only be up to 68 today (it's the first day in a week the high has been below 70).
Even though the winds will be out of the east at 12kts, take some solace in the fact that I am still 6 weeks away from finishing my winter restoration, so I won't be able to take advantage of the conditions.
Bundle up! (Sorry, Tim, I couldn't resist)

Geez, you southern/California guys are awfully smug! :<)
Since I took that photo, it's gotten worse. We got about 2 fast inches in 45 minutes or so shortly thereafter. Eeeeewwwww!

Yeah, but aren't those little flakes of BoatMoney falling from the sky for you?
At least it's not one of those little half-inch "cosmetic" snowfalls that don't let you make any money plowing, right?
Anyway, I think you're getting the system that sat on top of us all of last week, dumping about 5" of rain, so I'm guessing you've got plenty more coming.

No, we got the rain too, last Thursday night and Friday. About 4" worth. And it's been cloudy, raining, drizzling, or otherwise pretty miserable since a week ago today. And more to come this week.
Springtime in Maine!
(Oh, and no: no plowing out of this, either! That 2" mess was about the end of it. And anyway, at this time of year, I wouldn't go unless we got a foot or something. Ground's too soft, snow melts quickly, etc.)

I think we already had spring and the rumor I heard is that summer is canceled...

Oh yeah...so it is! Happy birthday to us!
All gifts will be readily accepted. ;<) Please refrain from singing, however.
Thanks to all who continue to visit this humble forum and put up with me and the other characters here!
