The cold is very invigorating.  I like stripping down to my swim suit
and running around outside for a few minutes before throwing on the
wet suit (no dry suit yet)...  The key is to leave the wetsuit in the
car before hand and on the trip so that it's nice and toasty when you
put it on...  For 34 degree water I have to break out the top half of
the 1/4" suit and throw that over the 3mm suit, which by itself is
only good down to about 46 degrees :^)  I'm thinking about a dry
suit next year, mainly for convenience reasons...

Happy New Year
