Looks like some BIG wind in the forecast. SE so not sure where is best. Also supposed to be bucketing so good luck with that. On the bright side it’s going to be considerably warmer. 8 degrees forecast.
I have plans so won’t be there. Have a good one !

Hopefully the ice has melted by then.

That snow/slush/ice is actually pretty fun! (video from a few years ago)

No problem!


Looks like the ice is out past the mile marker. I don't think I've ever seen that much in the bay before. Wind is SW 4g7kts at the moment so we're not missing much anyways.
