My Submariner, my gorgeous wife and I couldn't stand the cold, snow and ice in central Illinois any longer. We hopped in the car and drove down to Pensacola Beach, Florida. It may not be too warm but it is sunny and the sound of the surf can cure a lot of ills. Here is the sub enjoying the balcony. Can anyone share my frustrations to the winter and their solutions? Pics are good, I'll submit more as the week progresses, Mike.

Lucky guy!! We are getting hit again tonight--other than running away to the warm sunny beach--have to tough it out! I have no time for a vacation right now--too bad! Enjoy!

Snow, cold and ice? Don't run, get your camera out!

(Not really, I'd rather be where you are right now...)

TSW · 16 February 2010, 05:09 AM

Lucky you!! I'm so tired of snow right now!

Lamone · 16 February 2010, 05:12 AM

sea-dweller · 16 February 2010, 05:15 AM

nauticajoe · 16 February 2010, 05:16 AM

Good for you guys! Have a few drinks; while I pull out my shovel again. We're expecting another 2-5". Good times!

bounce · 16 February 2010, 05:37 AM

Wish I could trade places with you right now, -1 degrees celsius & starting to snow lightly :-(
Great pics though.

I have had Enough! Booked a flight to Jamaica in the morning.

RREngr · 16 February 2010, 07:35 AM

Just got back from a beach walk (it's 45 degrees so we still had coats on) but it sure beats the 5" of snow we're getting at home, Mike

Rebel · 16 February 2010, 07:36 AM

have fun

diversified · 16 February 2010, 11:24 AM

I think its rather amazing that it is 45 degrees there!

seedgun · 16 February 2010, 11:53 AM

Mike you are correct, I'm in Springfield and we had just about 5" last eve. It also seemed to stick more on the road so it was tough this Am. Have fun, I'll keep scooping.

Yeah, it is actually supposed to be in the high 20's tonight, but I'm not complaining!!!!! Possible 50's tommorrow, yea!!!!!

RREngr · 17 February 2010, 01:59 AM

It is supposed to get up to 50 degrees so walking on the beach is a must today. clear for the next 3 days. keep the faith

RREngr · 17 February 2010, 02:05 AM

More shots of the Gulf of Mexico

GerardoG · 17 February 2010, 02:06 AM

Nice!

ParisDakarBmw · 17 February 2010, 02:21 AM

Wish I were there! Just the smell of the ocean, and some fresh seafood would break the ice of mental Winter. I can't wait for a trip to Florida this Spring.

TheVTCGuy · 17 February 2010, 02:37 AM

I love this place, this is where my first saltwater dive was and the dive boat captain had a submariner on. I was hooked from then on. unfortunately it took 25 years to afford one!!!!

RREngr · 17 February 2010, 09:55 AM

It got up to 51, wind made it a little cool. walked around to soak up the sun, Mike.

RREngr · 20 February 2010, 09:47 AM

Time to go home, wahhhhh!!!

Safetrends · 20 February 2010, 09:50 AM
