I called up Mr. Kofi Annan at the United Nations to file a Crime Against Humanity complaint due to this illegal cold weather.
We're just having a hard time getting it served though.

it's supposed to snow in Jerusalem tonight, and rain in Eilat. Both events don't happen very often, not even once a year.
Tom, I think its a world wide conspirisy.

Must be global warming... *cough*

Anyway y'all in the NE probably think I'm whining as you shovel out

Yes... yes we do. :frosty:
Seriously... your water and air temperatures are almost double ours, and we're still diving.

I dove saturday in spite of the "cold front". Looks like the weather will be back to normal tomorrow!

I dove Blue Grotto on Sunday. It was 45 degrees when we started, worse when the wind was blowing. Getting into the water wasn't so bad (71 degrees), getting out sucked. And then, because we're not too bright, we got out of our suits, sat in the car for our surface interval to get warmed back up, then got back into wet neoprene to do a second set of dives. I was still shivering six hours after the dives, wearing sweats and huddled under a blanket on the couch.

There are restroom facilities at Blue Grotto, and before the second set of dives I filled my boots up with hot water. That helped a little.

Still...we only get a dozen or so days like that all year down here, so I guess I can't complain.

Yep: Getting OUT, after the dive: That's when it's just brutal... I took my dive parka and a wool knit skullcap and I fared okay. I'm sure glad I packed those items, though!
