Hey David,

I may have seriously mis-judged my getaway this year... this recent cold snap was not originally forecast to last as long as it did, and it seemed to me that the overnight lows have been running considerably colder than forecast... As a result, I'm pretty well frozen in at the moment... I was really shocked last week, a significant portion of my area of Barnegat Bay froze up literally overnight...

I could probably get out now if I really had to, there's been some moderation the past few days and the ice has softened up a bit. I'm fairly hopeful about next week, some warmer weather is forecast, with some rain and wind, that's all good...

Regards to the family, hope you guys have a wonderful holiday season...

Jon
