If this global warming doesnt slow down you are going to have to design an ice breaker hull and a set of ice runners.
12 degrees here this morning.

Re: Ice runners
Chilly here is central NC. Been that way since about Christmas! 
Usually we'll get a cold snap of 2-3 days and then the 40s and 50s come back. But getting to the mid 30s has been rare the last couple weeks. I grew up WI so this type of weather is no stranger to me. But it's been a while since it's been this cold for this long around these parts.

Re: Ice runners
Pity the poor ranchers who have to bust ice out of water troughs and ponds so their cows can drink. Wonder how many tractors is going to wind up on the bottom of ponds?
