watching the weather channel after planting the spring lettuces and spinach.

frank, put you jib away for a few days, it looks like a blast of snow coming your way.
you people in lincoln and omaha, grab some fire wood and hang tight for a while.
wow!!12 to 18 inches of snow.

Thank goodness for the forum. There have been snow showers all day and I am working on the 2 feet of snow on the deck. The pickup is snowbound but I did get the windshield exposed. The 25 is dry but just too cold and this is California. The ramp is covered with ice too. Enjoy your planning.

Think he is in Wichita Kansas at Lake Cheny--I used to drive out there and look at the boats with what amounted to lust before I bought my first sail boat. Kansas city weather doesn't look too good either--just took the tarp off my catalina 25 last weekend maybe a little too soon. It was dry inside so that was good--looking forward to April so I can get her ready for the lake.

From CNN...

"For Monday, more snow was forecast for the Central and Northern Plains, with the heaviest snow expected to fall in Kansas and Nebraska."

Knowing Frank the way we do, I'll bet he got the day off because of all the snow, and he's out in his driveway working on his boat!

Well, he's a teacher, and it was spring break last week ... he probably hasn't left his boat in days ...

Omaha lucked out but western Nebraska got dumped on. I will be sweeping the snow off my 25 later today. This snow is basically our second snow of the season. I picked a good year to keep the boat uncovered. Barry

I have a daughter getting married Saturday, my time is a bit constrained. We missed the snow down here but the weather has still been fairly bad.

Congrats on the wedding. Hope it goes well. Does the happy couple get a boat as a wedding present? I guess there are a few things in life more important than our beloved boats (not many)
