Well, not here, darn it and why else would I paddle a canoe? No cockpit containment! If the Alaskans (I have a brother in Homer, so I get regular updates, like why he's not planted his garden which has another 2" snowfall on it) would only share some of that cool, we'd love it down here. Our warmest spring on record. I'll try sending some heat your way. My "cool" trip of the weekend was rigging a sail for my canoe, plopping my daughter in it and in the company of like-minded friends, set off across Lake Anahuac here on the Texas coast. Three miles with no more effort than ruddering. I'll bet the temps only in the upper 80s there on the water but plenty warm no matter how you look at it. 10-15 mph winds provided great sport and occasional whitecapping. Life is good on the Texas Gulf coast. I did get a good chuckle out of the "getting too large for my skirt" discussion. Sigh, I too am trying to go in the opposite direction.
