Headed up to Storm this morning, was hoping to meet with Baywatch, but they were diving in the afternoon and I had to be home early afternoon. I had breakfast at The Stained Glass, then arrived at the dive site at 8:30. It was 24 degrees with gusty winds. So, not to bad for Storm. There was about 3/4 of an inch of snow and the roads were a little icy. I geared up for my first dive, vis wasn't very good. 6' at best, worse as you got deeper. When I surfaced, I found that Jeff and Sara from York Pa. had arrived. By now it had warmed up to 34 degrees, and the snow had melted. It turned into a nice day. We did another dive, out to the dam and back, a lot of current today!! Baywatch and crew picked the best part of the day for sure. Wind was slowing, and clouds were leaving, and sun was bright. A good start to The winter at Storm.

In the water you could use a wetsuit no problem. But, when you get out in sub freezing temps you wouldn't make it very long!! At Storm it's the surface temps and wind that will get you.
