Ah yes, here's something.

Only the ice on the shrimp boats.

Don't need it up here. Here's some imagery for you:

The fishermen haul the shrimp onto the boat and they freeze instantly. The guys sometimes have a barrel on the deck with a hose bringing hot water from the engine's cooling system.

They pull some shrimp, then alternately plunge their hands into the hot water to keep them from going numb.

That probably explains why the skin on their hands is an inch thick.

Rough tough!

a cold front down here only happens between December 15 and March 1 when the temp might get into the low 50's or high 40's very rare for us.

Last night we had a "cold" front. It was cool enough to turn the a/c off for a day or two. Mid 70's outside maybe high 60's tonight if we get lucky.
