Hmmm - seems reminiscent of an exchange of mine with the same poster, with reversed weather conditions, 4 weeks ago. Could this be some form of revenge?
Here in Chicagoland, we had our first 70 degree (F) days of the season (though colder on the lake shore) and parking was at a premium at the boat yard.
My Jeanneau, En l'Air, is ready to splash later this week!

Oh o YOU"RE the one I get to blame..........hmmmmm.........you're blaming ME....MOI! surely you jest! Midwest a late snow fall, that happens, but around here, usually about the 1st part to mid March is the latest snow, and few hail storms.......but snow at sealevel!
Weird weather we are having thru out NA if one asks me!

OK, Ok, Ok
I am off the board for a bit, and then I see this. Well, we are still sailing! shoveled the snow off the my buddies boat, quick wash down with a few buckets of salt water and we were racing! Beautiful day, lots of wind, perma-grins!!
It was indeed freakish, Friday/early Saturday Snow as Marty posted, then Sunday afternoon I cut the lawn!!
Marty, thanks for the rendezvous information. We are signed up...but work may get in the way.
Still working on the cockpit table....so I can use it to keep the snow off the cockpit floor!!!
Karl, enjoy your great weather! You also have the great benefit of fresh water for cooling off in at the end of the day, and not needing to shower!!
Have a safe, great sailing season!
Jeff

Jeff, Someone had to harass you about that freak storm! I was suppose to race a week ago when it hit 80F down here, but alas, no crew:( My guys got 3 lawns mowed saturday AM where it did not snow, or melted by teh time they got there. I thought about doing mine yesterday, altho may do it in a bit before going off to a training race in prep for teh NOOD races in may on a C&C 115. Any way, back to this bid I am doing, hate big ones like this, typically take 4-6 hrs......... Marty
