I am in SE Minnesota. I have still not winterized my boat yet although temperatures are expected to be close to 30 deg soon. As it is, night temperatures are now below freezing. I also just took the boat out on the lake on Sunday and hope to take it out as long as I can tolerate it. Am I setting myself up for trouble by continuing to run the boat in such cold weather? How long do you think I can practically delay winterizing? Prior to winterizing, are there any advice or procedures that I should perform to prevent "cold weather" damage? Thanks!
Building starting next spring so maybe next Sept? There's electric on site so I'll pull a camper out there next summer and live there. I'll shower at the gym, work or in the nearby lake 😆
There were some leaves changing when I was at the cabin a couple weeks ago. Headed back up on Monday, it'll be interesting to see how much more.
The ferns were also starting to get brown.
Livin’ the dream!
We had 45 in Little Falls when I woke up this morning. Been seeing leaves turn yellow for a couple weeks now. Just got done with a neighborhood walkabout and even some green leaves are letting loose and dropping.
Lakeshore was kind of out of my price range, less than desirable waterfront is 50k an acre minimum and nice lakeshore is 100k+ an acre. I got just under 7 acres up against state land out in the woods, building about a 1400 sq ft home and 24x36 garage. As maintenance free as possible, clover yard too. Can't be doing chores instead of pestering the walleye. I think we got frost last night
