      Winter Storm Watch: Blizzard Conditions Possible for East Coast

      Grab your shovels and check your flashlights—a major winter storm is officially on the horizon for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this Sunday through Monday.

      The Forecast: From Rain to Blizzard

      A low-pressure system currently consolidating over the Southeast will track north along the coast, undergoing rapid intensification by Sunday night becoming a powerful coastal storm by Monday.

         
      What to Expect
      • Heavy Snow & High Winds: The most intense impacts are slated for coastal regions from New Jersey to southeastern New England with accumulations of 15-24 inches likely.
           

         

      • Blizzard Conditions: The combination of heavy snow and powerful gusts will make travel extremely dangerous.
      • Power Outages: Expect strong winds to potentially take down trees and power lines.
      • Coastal Flooding: Onshore winds may cause moderate flooding, particularly from Delaware to Long Island.
      • Storm to Hurricane Force winds over the coastal and offshore waters producing waves up to 9 meters (30 feet).

      March is one of the most popular months for cruising the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean—and for good reason. It sits right at the sweet spot between winter cold fronts and the start of the wetter summer pattern. For cruisers, that means comfortable temperatures, manageable seas, and very low risk of tropical weather…

    • Florida Boaters Now Have Access to Free State-Approved Online Boating Safety Course – BoatUS

      BoatUS

      BoatUS is the leading advocate for boating safety in the US and A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR.

      Florida Boaters Can Now Take Free
      State-Approved Boating Safety Course 

      At-home learning helps Florida boaters prepare for the water easily and conveniently 

      A hand holding a key and a cardAI-generated content may be incorrect. 

       

      FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – February 4, 2026 – The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water has launched the only free interactive boating safety course for Florida recreational boaters.

      The course, which is approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and meets state boating safety education requirements, can be taken at the student’s own pace. After passing the exam, they can print their own certificate of completion for immediate use and will receive a lifetime card from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.  

      The course provides video demonstrations and sample common boating situations for students to interact with to better understand how to evaluate real-world instances. The learning experience includes storylines where the student “boats” to various places and includes interactive learning tools like flashcards and drag-and-drop features to enhance learning and retention. Course-takers will be able to design and name the virtual boat that takes them through the course and map how far they’ve “traveled” within it. 

       

      In the state of Florida, anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, who operates a vessel powered by 10 horsepower or more must pass an approved boating safety course and have in his/her possession photographic identification and proof of boating safety education completion issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. 

      The online BoatUS Foundation boating safety course and exam are approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard as exceeding the minimum requirements for the National Recreational Boating Safety Program. 

      “NASBLA approval of our Florida Boating Safety Course is a meaningful investment in boater safety, said Lynne O’Hearn, Program Manager at BoatUS Foundation. “Boater education is one of the most effective ways to prevent accidents, and this course gives Florida boaters the opportunity to build their skills to better enjoy Florida waterways safely.”  

      To take the course, visit BoatUS.org/Florida. For more information about Florida boating safety education, visit myfwc.com/boating/safety-education. 

      About BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water:

      The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water is a national leader promoting safe, clean and responsible boating. Funded primarily by donations from the more than 740,000 members of Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), the nonprofit provides innovative educational outreach directly to boaters and anglers with the aim of reducing accidents and fatalities, increasing stewardship of America’s waterways, and keeping boating safe for all. A range of safe and clean boating courses – including the nation’s only free online boating safety course – can be found at BoatUS.org/Courses.
