Hatteras Deep Freeze!

One word this early winter here on the OBX..."COLD!" Since December 2, we have been locked in a deep freeze of cold, blustery weather. Cold here is usually low 50 degree air temps; however, during Dec 2010, 50 degrees is "warm!" Water temps have plummeted as well both in the sounds and the ocean. The Gulf Stream has remained at bay with minimal warmth hitting the southern beaches. All in all, not too enticing to go windsurfing unless you have heated wetsuit apparel and a large heated van to change in.

Andy reported on likely the last "warm" sesh of 2010 a few days ago, and I remember that day myself as the last time I suited up. Been way too long!
