I went out to the swamp on the first of February. It was a warm day, but I couldn’t bring myself to sink in up to my neck and wash off in the cold water. It just wasn’t that warm.
I did, however, manage to get my brand new rubber boots very muddy. I know there are some muddy boot lovers among you, so, maybe, the short video I made will appeal to someone.
It wasn’t really a dedicated mudding trip. I took my little dog along, and went out to scope things (e.g. the tide level) out. The tide didn’t get super low, but it was low enough for sinking in several places, which was nice to see. I wasted a good deal of time, chasing a duck and trying to get a good photo of it. I also spent some time, talking to someone who was fishing on the creek.
It really wasn’t warm enough that you’d want to be hanging out in a swimsuit, but for February 1, it was very mild. We’ve actually had 2 warmer days since then, but I’ve been too busy to escape into the swamp. It’s supposed to cool off tomorrow night, but we’re half way through the coldest part of winter. In another month, it will be spring.
Anyway, I have a short muddy boot video and an outdoor bondage video coming to my store, soon. It probably won’t be long before I shoot some serious mud video.
Hello Doug…
From what Maria in Hendersonville told me, you’ve had a couple of very mild days of late. We are in the midst of a mild Santa Ana…temps are rising every day and it will be 80 at the beach here tomorrow. Of course, that means there are no mud pools down at my favourite mud beach….unfortunately. I’ve been looking at ocean temperature maps for the last two or three weeks. It seems that the very warm temperatures that are one important measure the ENSO are beginning to cool…at least in the last week or so. We’ve had ocean temperatures in the low to mid-60s most of the fall and winter….that is well above historic averages. But, in the seven to ten days, I’ve noticed that reported ocean temperatures are now in the high 50s…about a 2 or three degree drop…and that would be consistent with the beginnings of a weakening of an ENSO. Here, rainfall is about 3″ below normal right now. Of course, I’m not forgetting that ENSO effects here in So. Cal. can begin to be experienced in March and even early April. So, it’s a big early to be concluding anything much…just observing data right now.
Cheers, Dennis
Hello, Dolphin. About all I can say for the weather so far this year is that it’s abnormal. It’s better than the arctic weather we had a couple years ago, but it’s strange.
