NetDoc treks to Frozen Tundra

[Md Spear]

Unbelievable!! our coldest winter in years hammered w/snow ,I see NetDoc at the Baltimore dive show. The long drive for him to show up in our weather was certainly above and beyond the call of duty. What a pleasant surprise to meet NetDoc and some scubaboarders.

its great there are people like these who true " people " people and put out that extrodinary effort into making this incredible Dive information forum possible.

As my way of saying thanks for you service to the dive community you and your traveling friend are more than welcome to come dive w/me on my 30Scarabcc offshore Key West and Marquesas this summer. I will PM you the dates and if you can make it come on aboard for some remote reigon exploration in the uncharted territories

Over the last 20 years we have found and gps logged over 85 remote sites of seamonts, rolloffs, tiny wrecks ,and reef complexes. and we have scooters for all.
heres a link to a thread w/pics of a small wreck 15 miles west of KW in 130fsw U/W pix of New Wreck found by JLB & Keyskiller - Spearboard Spearfishing Community

Once again , thanks NetDoc for your time spent to further communication in dive community

Yes Netdoc and I survived snowmageddon though the last few hours of Wed nite's drive as the storm worstened was more like a white-knucle "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride". There were more than a few cars that jumped off the "Teacup" ride along the roadsides.

Great to meet you! We look forward to diving with you in the Keys.

I was honored to be there, and there were apparently 2,700 attendees there.

As for Snowmageddon, it was my very first time driving in snow. We were hurtling down I295, I asked outloud, "Why are we the fastest car on this highway?" Mselena's response was rather terse: "I don't KNOW! Why are we the fastest car on this highway???"

Fortunately, my Honda Ridgeline has all wheel drive and traction control, so by tempering our speed considerably, we made it safely to our destination. Here are some pictures from the day after. Mind you, most of the attractions were closed to the public for a "Snow Day". I tried to reason with them, that if this Floridian could brave the snow any self respecting Baltimorian should be able to make it as well!

Plants trying to poke out from the snow!

Most of the streets were clear by the morning light.

Workers were hard at work trying to make sidewalks safe for pedestrians.

Snow and ice slush were at most every transition.

Some snow was in big clumps!!!

The pigeons suffered.

Even the statues are frozen!

Frozen Bridges!

Well, DUH!

The amazing USS Constellation.​

Dragon Paddle Boats provide a colorful contrast against the snowy white.

Slush Pond. Don't try to walk on it!

More snow!

Dolphin Sculptures on ice!

Bromo Seltzer Clock! How old is that Clock Tower?

That's funny. I had a simliar experience on the mountains of Idaho over the holidays...
