friday snowstorm

[Njbillfish]

They are calling for precipitation potentially starting as wet snow sleet n rain going to all snow & temps down in the single digits..... Very bad combo! Whatever falls is gonna freeze hard!!! U are gonna have a lot of snow & ice in your boat!!!! Gonna be too cold (and frozen) to drain out the scuppers & bilge is gonna be frozen. Get the boat out!!!!

Maybe throw some snowmelt salt on the deck, then shovel right away

I'm with billfish and I have the experience of getting the call the next day from the marina and going down there only to see our boat antennas sticking out of the water.

If you can or have someone to watch it leave it in. If not, I would reccomend you be safe and pull it.

I believe you are in the shark river if memory serves me: it doesnt always: but if you havent pulled, throwing some rock salt on the deck and a lil bigger pile by the scuppers can help with the freeze over, but that is a gamble too. best off to pull it. ps the saltwater acts as an insulator and bilge water freezing is not that common when the water temp is still in the 40s, but with a 5 degree low on friday i wouldnt bet on it. pull it

Dfish your memory is correct.My plan is to drive down after snow stops and shovel the boat out.It is supposed to be light ,fluffy snow.Thanks for all the advise.
