The Boston buoy indicates a wave height of 23 feet which doesn't make for an easy entry or exit. Besides I'm not driving two hours in a snowstorm to dive.

One good use for my DUI 400g Thinsulate type B Dive wear is for keeping warm while blowing snow in driveway with snow blower.
It's torture putting divewear on knowing it's not to go under my drysuit..

I know reefseal would never "steal" someone else's stuff. He's a good guy. My note was meant as more of a joke
However, let this be a lesson to all you picture stealers. BACK OFF!!! Hee hee

Not too fun. My first Dry suit training dive was where there was snow on ground. Let me tell you, it's bad enough walking all weighed down with weights, gear.. Even worse when foot of snow powder. Can't really see what's under that's hairy. Boulder/tree stumps to trip over.
I got snow at end of drysuit hose. Had to get out to put hose on valve.
You really got to love the sport to subject yourself to this. Taking off wetsuit gloves after out of water to get gear, suit off.
It certainly helps to have sunny day and no wind. Then it's bearable.. If it's been a few days since last storm, the vis is awesome.

I can't imagine diving in the snow only because I used to live in the snow and now refuse to live where it falls...so coming from somebody that is totally ignorant of snow diving..the air from the tank, isn't it a bit cold? So, not only do you have to fight off the elements of the cold and wind, gear up in all kinds of layers and layers of warmth hoping nothing leaks, and the tendency of equipment acting silly, you have cold air to breathe? BRRR.....
(I must admit tho, it must be fun to return from a dive and get the onlooker stares...and I suspose if I ever were sentenced to live in the cold, I would dive there..)
