Mt. Storm Jan 2nd

[Jim Lapenta]

My company had a very good year in 2008. As a result they gave us an extra paid holiday on Jan 2nd. I'm definitely heading to Mt Storm unless there's several feet of snow. I have 4wd so if I can get up the mountain and in the parking lot I'm going diving. Anyone else up for it?

I am in, assuming my 4cyl 2WD drive can make it there!

Too cold for me. There's currently snow up there and probably will continue to be.

sweet...we could have a snowball fight during the SI!

Does anyone know what the water temp is up there right now? I'll be going next weekend.

 

[emcbride81]

I gotta imagine around 60 at the surface...maybe colder if they have had snow, but I have rarely seen it below 58-60. Post up when you get back!

BRRRRR!!!

emcbride, aren't we due for another FL Keys dive in January?

 

[Jim Lapenta]

Lowest I've seen at Storm was 46 in the water. That was 3 years ago on new years day. Coldest air temp I've seen when diving there was 22, water that day was a balmy 53 on Good Friday 2 years ago.

We're going to Florida (Ginnie Springs, Blue Grotto, and West Palm) in February. I think Mocepts is coming - Come on along!

OK. But only if you dive "The Storm" New Years day
