Same here in Columbus, Ohio. Where are you? It was 6 last night when I was in the tub with great clear skies.

not quite sure what 0 is but I live in Ontario Canada and right now we are at -20 (thats cold).   I couldn't see myself going in the tub when its this cold!  I don't think it would be enjoyable.  Too cold getting in and out.

The wind is the big thing.  After soaking at 104 for 20 minutes, I was easily able to get out of the tub, grab my robe, dump in the dichlor, close the lid, and get in the house before feeling cold.  No wind last night.

I think the lake is keeping us warmer than the cuse, but I'm getting the wind off it at home that I didn't have here at work inland further.

Those are all GIRLY temperatures... ;D

All that means is it's just starting to cool down enough to use the spa the way in which it was intended! ::) ;D

I went to school in Rochester (RIT, grew up Central NY). The wind off that lake can be brutal in the winter but don't let that stop you from enjoying the spa. The worst thing you can do is hide indoors because of the weather. Spit at Mother Nature and use the spa during the bleakest weather and let the neighbors think you're nuts.

Go 'cuse!!!

Hit 78 degrees yesterday afternoon - had to run the whole-house fan to get the place cool enough to sleep. Not real well insultated.
