http://graphics.boston.com/globe/images/daily/24/one.jpg It's colde enough that the commuter boats have stopped running from Quincy to Boston because of ice. Waiting for the Ice Breakers...

It's colde enough that the Nantucket Ferry might be all boxed in as they wait for CG Ice Breakers.

It's colde enough that Clammer's boat was one of two I saw down near the docks - last week there was a dozen.

I's FrIeKiN COLDE Out there!

... but just last night when I was outside, I got warmed up by the thought that just 11 months ago I was sneaking over to a hold over spot catching schoolies, getting my gear ready, enjoying early signs of longer days. I was warm with anticipation for a new season to begin!

cold in my shed I tell Ya:smash:
im going to the beach today, I cant take it.
gonna go see My Boss Tony:eek: and then go hit the sand
after a small trip to orleans fer a job thingie.
I hope the sand is hard cuz I aint airing down if I DONT HAVE TO:smash:
Its a long winter John. maybe I bring camera and take a pic and post it today:)

It's colder that a witch's t_t in a brass bra!

BRRRrrr...! ;)

is my motor allright out in this cold it has antifreeze and was done right but i never seen it this cold for so long i know for deisel they have plugs for block heaters do they have some thing to warm your block till this cold passes or do you just pray it holds up!!!

clammer, if you need to do any engine or hull work we could just flip her up on the ice.......................... and do it without having to lean over.

Any open water in the upper bay? I have a plug I need to test.

my mom stole the news paper so i couldnt read it today. my dad says a long time ago the harbor froze over by walloston and they had ice boat races. ive seen some pictures they took. might be cool if i could post them, actually i think they're slides.

How Colde ??

Mad Cold! I was all bundled up in Columbia Sportwear jacket, Gloves. and still was shakin' like a leaf :D and when your cold in a Columbia Jacket, THAT'S PRETTY DAMN COLD!!!!! :)

i'm in my room all nice and toasty sippin' a glass of Soda while eatin' some SALSA doritos (breakfist of champs!) :D

Wow, that sucks. there goes my only employment. :( :smash:

I will never work in a Mickey D's unless i am owner of the whole chain :D (maybe for a summer job for young teens, but when you see someone who is like 30 working there it's just SAD) :( i know toooo many people in many lines of work to be sittin' doing nothing. thanks for looking out though :D

Once again- CRANSTON (were we have gold chains and stuff) not warwick....:smash:

Everyone is roudy today :D must be cause it's a friday

Went skating on a fw pond yesterday...8+" thick, walked over to one of the salt ponds... 6" thick. A few boats iced in pretty good. Normally it is pretty mild here...woke up to 8 degrees. (was in VT over the weekend...how about -14! The next day it warmed up to +18 and it felt like a heat wave!)
Saw the weather channel...it could be worse, -58 deg F in Mongolia, :eek: even if it warmed up 100 deg you would still need a jacket! (global warming my ass)

Thinking warm thoughts: I just made ferry res to bring over the new boat in april. :) Spring will eventually come.

Sorry, Cranston.....................

Not that I'm rowdy just looking out. We have about a hundred people here feeding machines round the clock. It's a living but it ain't a life.

How cold is it, quincy harbor is the front page on www.cnn.com

38 degrees ill take that, last super bowl i had a party was cool out but cooked steak outside that night, not this year i got to go to birthday for 1 year old!! wife is making me go!! hopefully i have to work!! driving limo someone has to drive the party goers around!! i voulenteer!!!

Wow Mr Macy those must be some rowdy one year olds!:laughs: They way this cold spell is going I'll be ice fishing for cod!

nice boat clamdigger! i liked the sea hunt at the providence boat show the best. did you get the 210 212 or the 23'. they had the 212 with a 150v6 from inland marine in chepacett sweeeeeettt.:D

with that ice around your new boat!! its a beautiful boat clammer.im nervous about ice build up on my tarp!! covering mine!! i put this question up before nobody answered i put anti freeze in my i/o but its never been this cold for so many days is the anti freeze you winterize with safe enough for this weather!! if im right anti freeze shrinks when frozen instead of expanding!!:confused:

D/C I like it , especially with the changes i made
its the 210, I didn,t go foe the 220 ==because of the porta potty,it would mess up my setup//

s/s i,ll take you fishing , beat be ready and no b/s//////////

:happy: :happy: :happy:
