Anyone braving the water with Wetsuits?

[Danny D]

I was just wondering if anyone is braving the water with Wetsuits?

I think the water would be marginally tolerable, but there's no way in hell I'd want to change out of a wetsuit in this weather!

Dry diving for me, thanks.

No, thanks

Just picture spending 30 mins in 38 degree water, getting out dripping wet with a 15 kt north east wind blowing against 20 degree air temperatures. Now strip down to your skivies and change. If that sounds like fun to you...be my guest and hop in

20 degrees? We haven't broken 15 degrees down here yet. And Friday is calling for what? 5 degrees as a high. Now that's a temp to change out of wetsuit. Or go wet up in Minnesota.

Today it was 4 degrees when I got up and is 10 now. Last week it hit 60 degrees. I don't think your crazy Connecticut weather is much different than Massachusetts

Update: It is now 16 degrees. Hey look, it's snowing again. I think the sub-zero wind chills have completely blown away my memory of our up-till-now mild winter.
