Last year was the coldest I can remember, but then pipes were
freezing in LA at the same time?

This year should be nicer, except for the wind-possible gusts to 35
mph-probably won't put the Shadyboy up?  Plan to draw the buses/vans
into an appropriate wind shield/shelter configuration.

I still predict the guys in thongs will still be doing the polar bear
swim on Sat am-a scary sight, not for the faint hearted.
