Will it warm up before the wind dies off this afternoon?
37 degrees and windy now but my hands and feet refuse to go or even consider it.
It'd be great if the wind would hold steady this afternoon but I don't want to be on the water while the wind drops and drops and drops.
Monday looks like another chilly one. At least I don't have to use the word "blizzard" in daily conversation (excepting any reference to Dairy Queen, of course).
The forecast was on the mark today with North wind blowing onto the beach. I started rigging a 6.0m, but saw it dropping off and was just right with a 7.0 meter sail. Scott joined William, Gene & I and did OK with his 6.3 sail & 100 liter board. With full sun it warmed into the upper 40's for a really nice day.
Latest GVL 23-35 but only 39 degrees. This is probably the warmest it's going to be all day.
Probably on a few weeks until the temps break for the better. Until then, a cup of hot chocolate for me inside where it's nice and toasty. I'll get the dog to put another log on the fire.
If the wind blows, I can go tomorrow, Friday.

Barrett and I are headed up. Gene may or may not show - depending who's at Ben Franklin.
Gene just called that he's joining us at Van Pugh. He said it's really windy at the Lake.

Monday might be too cold (dropping tempts) and wet, with a chance of SNOW! but it is supposed to be WINDY!

PDK reporting 21-37 now.
