Having gone through bootcamp at GLakes in the winter that pic is almost balmy. :)
All - You might want to consider a prayer for the fishermen that are out in the storm. They had an interview with someone on the USCG Cutter Escanaba, which is on station 10 miles west of Provincetown MA, and they reported 70 fishing boats out there right now. Seas 12 feet, winds 36kts steady, gusts at better than 50kts.

Will do ProudVet, I worked on a snapper boat when I was a teenager in FLA one summer. We got hit by a nasty nasty storm off shore. By the time we were done, we ran out of fuel and had to be towed by the CG back into port. I never realized how scared I could be and when that CG boat showed up how thankful I could be!
