I'm glad you had the white stuff. It can tell you a lot about maintenance in wintertime.
We had no fluffy stuff, but three nights of 22 or 24 degrees F. during which I slept on the boat to determine just how and what was needed for most efficient heating and where to put it while cruising. Still no conclusions, except that you have to be on the boat in cold weather to make that determination, and it's different for long cruises than just for a weekend. But I learned that with everything buttoned up except my 12sq. in. of venting, I had no condensation problems.

snow
Just returned from Puerto Penasco, Mx. about 2 hours ago.
Not any snow in the Carson Valley, where I live, but it sure is cold.
The last 8 days and nights it was 65 to 72 degrees with beautiful sunshine.
Stayed in a condo on the beach, sure wish I would of taken the Mac.
Burrrrr it's cold here!
