    Dang that sucks. I live in Oklahoma & never put the boat away for winter. Might go a few weeks without using it but never put it away. Fish bite when it's 40 degrees out.

    You're an Okie, you know if it gets that cold it doesn't stay long. Some winters more than others but on average we have mild winters.

    Technically I am a "grafted Okie". I've been through two winters here. The weather is kind of like Denver, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes".

    Rain then....
    Fog then....
    Clear and windy...

    Cut my trucking teeth in North Dakota 30 years ago ...I learned how to keep things running in extreme cold .
    And dry cold snow is much preferable to warm snow on warm pavement .
    Hence. Why I park it on 80 across Iowa during a storm .
     
    Feedman, Airborne, Lepton1 and 2 others Thank this.
