[unbroken]

Spring can't come soon enough. I'm in eastern Connecticut and we had a decent amount of snow this winter but nothing out of the ordinary, typical New England winter, pretty cold,windy and now the rainy season. I had my ski out the last week of March last year because it got into the low 70's but the water was still very cold, I hope to get out early April weather permitting.:cheers:

Spring?

We usually start seeing warm weather by the last week of Feb.... but it's been the coldest winter on the record books down here, I believe. I know we set some new records on the cold temps. It got down into the teens for 3 or 4 days in a row.

Hopefully, after this rain is gone, it'll warm up. I'm dying to get my GTX in the water.......:cheers:

I lived in SoCal (Anaheim, Fullerton, and PV) for the first 27 years of my life... and I miss not being able to play all year long. I'm now around Pittsburgh, and like Snipe... its been a record breaking winter. We got +40" of snow in a 10 day period, and it's just starting to melt. I think we are over 65" for the winter. (normal is around 20" for the entire winter)

Cant wait for spring.

This is after we got 22" overnight. I couldn't even make it past the driveway.

This kid wanted to play in the snow, so I opened the garage door, and found this... (needless to say, she couldn't step over that)

The Wife's car is under that... somewhere.

Brrrrrrrrr NO tank you on the snow. Yesterday was 68* and beautiful. My ski is SOOOO ready to head out the water. Been collecting everything for my 5 day ski/camping trip in june. Living on a seadoo/hydro trailer for 5 days will be fun.

 

[b15philly]

Well it got in to the 50's in CT today:hurray: It was a nice little change of pace, I'm probably going to get my ski out of the warehouse where its been stored all winter in a few weeks to start doing some De-winterizing and spring maintenance:cheers:

 

[unbroken]

Im going to take mine out next week to a local lake. Weather should be about 70. I may need a wetsuit.

 

[b15philly]

I cant wait until we start getting some weather like that over here. I'm starting to get the itch real bad, I got another month and change before ill get out there in a 3/2 full wet suite:cheers:

 

[jswope]

Northern Ohio near Lake Erie, we've finally had a few days of above freezing temp.s so the snow is starting to melt. There's actually patches of bare grass in the back yard. But the ski is still in my dad's garage and probably will be for a while.

But there is some "boating" going on around here, please note this is a no wake zone,



A couple more, it was a busy day at the launch ramp



Please don't let your kids do any diving

mmm looks very cold.
Im in southern aus and while not quite as lucky as our gold coast counterparts, if we are really keen we can ski pretty much all year round, just need a slightly thicker wet suit in winter, temp drops to about 16'C. but Summer this year we had a couple of days pushing up to high 30s - low 40s celcius that is, this years average for our area in summer would have been high 20s - low 30s so fairly "comfortable". Hoping winter is going to be kind to us this year.

 

[captdbg]

It's been cold here in Florida, the Gulf is only 59 degrees. There was a huge kill-off of fish a month ago, the whole coast smelt of the dead fish. Hope to be able to be in the water soon, just picked up my boat last week.

Gtx!

Well, looks like old man winter is trying to spin over to the other side of the world.

IT"s been warming up here lately. So much so, I took out the GTX on Tuesday. She ran like a champ. A bit uncomfortable without the seat on.

No, I wasn't out for a pleasure ride, just a tune up. I noticed some water seeping from around the tune pipe to exhaust manifold. I may pull it real quick to re-seal it.

I rode WOT for about 4 or 5 minutes then pulled the lanyard. The river was a bit choppy from the wind but I was able to read my plugs. They still look awesome from last year. I got a new set but I usually wait until the first week or so of the riding season before replacing. That way, I can get a better idea of what's going on. WHen you use new plugs, it's really hard to see how the fuel air mix is working.

I still got the boat motor sitting on the bench. I'm taking my time with it. The kids love the ski more than the boat anyway. I did start cleaning gasket surfaces and so on. Last night, I was doing the live broadcast into the forum on installing hte balance shaft............

Winter is history till next year!!!!! I'll be back on the water this weekend!...:cheers:

 

[MazerMadness]

Buffalo is getting warmer...lower 40s now...hopefully the worst is behind us. Sea Doo's are in heated storage now...Cant wait til the weather breaks!

 

[b15philly]

[unbroken]

[popasodatastie]
