Sure, There is a pretty good chance in the Northeast its going to snow from Nov-Mar most years, And its going to be cold from Dec-Mar with a few thaws in between too, See, Its pretty easy actually.
Certain days, Conditions are just right for rips, I only go a few times a year to the ocean as its cold to swim in anyways, We have a bazillion lakes up here and i grew up on one so i'm more partial to inland watersheds.
lol, Unless there's landsharks, I'll be on Sebago this weekend with a pontoon boat full of friends, The only things i have to worry about is keeping everyone safe, And the Game Warden.
