Thanks.

There's winter, and then there's winter.  The original poster didn't say where he was from.  It is entirely feasable that someone has a spa in Antarctica or somewhere where the temperature might get to -60 F, and then you'd be in trouble, what with muratic acid bottles freeze bursting and all.

I wonder- Would an Arctic spa work in Antarctica?

Yes, but the whirlpool would go in the wrong direction, and you would have to leave the penguin-repellant feature on all the time.

"of course they'll work!!!!!  They're designed after the polar bears "

Ok, so, the question of the day.... How many penguins can a polar bear eat in the average day?

I think the better question is....How many penguins can stand on an Arctic cover without caving it in?

BTW, the answer to Doc's question is..... As many as they can catch!

Actually, the answer is none. There are no polar bears in the Antarctic.

Well I guess I got my answer.  Did not want to leave that stuff in the house but I guess its time to bring the rest in.  I live in North Texas so it does not get real cold but it is about 35 out right now.

Why it pays to think before you post.    My first reaction to this post was tell him when it will freeze, not when it will melt!   Ok, it was early in the morning.

Wow, sounds like the temps around here --- or did you mean Fahrenheit?
