It depends. Factors such as water temperature, body fat, clothing, activity level, will to survive, etc., can significantly influence survival time in the water. You can survive longer in cold water if wearing a PFD and using heat retention techniques like the HELP and HUDDLE positions.

Lobsters have special gills that allow them to survive out of water. If they are kept cool and damp, lobsters could probably survive out of water up to a week - but we wouldn't recommend eating them! See similar questions...

You wrap up warm in thin layers and several of them. It's very important to cover feet, ankles, hands, wrists and your head. Mainly synthetic fibers these days. Insulated footwear. Clothes need to be kept dry and clean to maintain their best insulating qualities. UV (ultra-violet) radiation is fierce in the summer so wearing wrap-round goggles and sun screen on any exposed skin is just as important as keeping warm in the winter. See similar questions...

Wind is the biggest factor in water temperature. When the wind blows from the ocean towards the land, it blows water that has been warmed by the sun towards the beach. When the wind blows from the land towards the ocean, that warm water is push out to sea, and the cold water from underneath rises to take its place at the shore. The warm water is clear because its on the surface, while the cold water that was on the bottom is full of sediment and is a murky brown. See similar questions...

Probably (this is in reference to the underwater temperature readings we provide on the ReefCam pages). The underwater temperature probe we use is reasonably accurate, but we've found that water temperatures in the shallows can vary by several degrees Fahrenheit. Use the number as a relative measure and you'll be fine. Water temperatures at diving depths on Bonaire range from about 77 to 87 degrees Fahrenheit. See similar questions...

David: Warm food gives one a false sense of security. One is warmed up or stimulated for a few minutes only to be left cold a short while later. It's like taking a hot shower: Are you more resistant to cold weather if you take hot showers or cold showers? One feels warm after a cold shower, and weak and depleted after a hot shower which drains one's vital energy. I am much more resistant to cold weather now. Stephen: Yes, me too.

Grapevines are rated according to their hardiness. The USDA rates growing areas from 1 to 11 with 1 being the coldest. Most of the vines that we grow have a hardiness rating of from 3 to 6. These kind of vines can survive winters with temperatures below zero, some doing better than others. Typical average minimum temperatures in our Dryden, Michigan (Southern Lapeer County) are -10 to -15 degrees. See similar questions...

Yes -- a general explanation: Hot water can in fact freeze faster than cold water for a wide range of experimental conditions..[read on] The FORUM ON BEER, HOMEBREWING, AND RELATED ISSUES says " Hot Water freezes faster, yes, it really does."

No, over the last 10 years Virulite has been researching the various wavelengths (colours) of light in the visible and invisible spectrum and found some wavelengths were ineffective and some even make Cold Sores worse! Only 1072nm light proved to be effective in reducing Cold Sore healing time. See similar questions...

Sorry, we're going to have to punt on this one. How long to water depends on several factors including your soil type, the water requirements of your plants, your climate and your available water. Knowing how and when to run your drip system is something that only you are in the best position to determine. Keep in mind that hot areas, gardens with sandy soils, and gardens with "thirsty" plants like annuals, veggies and some ornamentals will need longer and/or more frequent run times.

We keep our water temperature between 81 and 83 degrees. In general, lap swimmers like the water temperature cooler (78 - 81) while recreation swimmers like it warmer (83+). The pool is used for a variety of activities, from swim lessons and water aerobics to competitive meets and free play. Since we cannot easily adjust the water temperature to meet the daily variety of uses of the pool, we try to maintain a temperature that is most comfortable for the majority of our users.
