It's colder than a well digger's ass here.

We hit 40's again last night...absolutely disgusting for this area of
the state. Some areas had freezes again last night. It's a little
different pulling in those nets when the air temperature is way colder
than the water dripping on you....a delayed chill. Saw 2 cases of mild
hypothermia from a new charter yesterday...the captain is a recent
transplant from Doylestown and just earned his Nemo certificate. Both
his daughters had frostbite on their fingers and he was the only
commercial vessel with the crew not wearing noncotton thermals. All 3
were waering cotton and shorts,,,the coast guard was still giving them a
lecture as we winched out next to them.
