Sending more snow across the pond from Milwaukee! We have had "White Outs" and actually closed the interstate so many accidents. The snow is slowing down and the sun is out again. Tried to look at the camera of the boat and Its white!
Things are starting to get busy in West Michigan

This is true...this is true. I think you guys threw yourselves on this grenade of "one last run" at cold weather. I should probably be safe to launch next week now.

I was scheduled for yesterday..I’m not dealing with those conditions, especially when the weekend doesn’t look good.
How did you resolve your launch issue?
I’ll tell you after I have possession of my boat

Been in for weeks now, last weekend the water temp at my slip was 50 degrees, heat turned on in cabin, not worried.
Temps in the mid 70’s next week, time for fist ride and set up new electronics.

I hired another marina up the road to come get it. It cost a bit but worth every penny to get out of there. There is a lot more to the back story but can’t put it on the internet. What’s important is I am floating and in a new marina

I assume the guy on the deck is watching for power lines
Looks good going down the road. And congrats on hitting the water!
Yes ..two guys pushing up power lines and branches
