Welcome to our forum.
why not wears a wool tobogan?
OK, I've had my tub for about a year and a half and was chicken last year to go out in really cold weather (Actually I forget is we got really cold weather here in Jersey). I did 20's but that was cold enough. Well tonight I went out into the frigid 12º and it was GREAT.Tub was at 102 when I got in and about 20 minutes later it was at 101 with the heater on. It was a little surreal as the cover was as stiff as a board, the lifter was groaning and the thin layer of ice that Glastron mentioned in his post was under my cover too. Wherever water misted onto the tub and cover there was a thin layer of ice, my thermal blanket was bent around and frozen to the cover. I know that at that temp everything freezes quickly but I've never witnessed it before ... even my sandals were freezing to the deck as I removed my suit.My only complaint is that my head was slightly cold but I attribute that to having a buzz cut.My wife thought I was nuts!!! I can't wait to go out there in colder temps ... and I want to go out there in SNOW.
That is tooooo cold for me, I'd be afraid of getting sick. That wouldn't be worth the soak. I'll just wait for a bit warmer temps.
I set a new record for myself around 10pm last night at 3F.
