@Wayne , why is the hot tub in the garage? It's best used outside, even in winter. I actually use mine more in the colder months.
For everyone else, I understand your hatred for winter, but learn to love (or at least like ) it. Great chance to rest, snow ski, get in shape for next season, drink excessive amounts of beer, ski in extremely cold water, move south, try out new gear, watch football, watch college basketball, etc. ... who do i sound like?
