The cold will blast in Friday morning with coldest air settling in by the morning of Christmas Eve. The cold is currently charging up around Siberia. Widespread 20s and 30s will be likely across Central Florida both Saturday and Sunday morning. If winds stay calm and skies remain clear, sub-freezing temperatures will be possible in Orlando.

bryresangel Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Thank you! We are sailing out Christmas Eve, so that is so good to know.

smokeybandit Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Mariner rotates when during the cruise it goes to Coco Cay vs. Cozumel. Thankfully Coco Cay isn't first otherwise there'd be a lot of beach chairs available there, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianB Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Doing a b2b on the Anthem from Port Liberty NJ. So far, it looks like we’ll miss the drop in Florida temps as we will be sailing up and down the coast during that time. However, it looks like there’s a chance of us getting caught up in a Nor'easter at sea…or the dreaded Bomb Cyclone. Hopefully we’ll be on the tail end of it as it comes up the coast and can avoid the worst. If the timing is bad, then I feel sorry for all the families on board…and there sure are a lot…especially those who may be effected by ‘Mal de Mer’. Hopefully it won’t be too bad and the festivities and entertainment can continue. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays everyone!

smokeybandit Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Cold weather will be chasing me this week. Leaving Denver the day before a high temp of -3. Leaving Baltimore the day of a potential 35 degree temperature drop. Leaving Port Canaveral when it's 40 degrees and headed south. If it's 40 degrees in Cozumel on Monday, it's my fault.

Ampurp85 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Traffic has been bad in Chicago and weather is crap. Highs of 20 F, which given the wind in Chicago, can feel close to 0. I am looking forward to Jan when I sail again. Our first port is PDCC and I won't care if it is 40-50 because that will still be warmer than where I come from.
