Ask 'Dr. Spa' Q & A Message Board

Linda
We live in Ontario Canada, we get tons of that white beautiful snow here. I couldn't imagine inclosing our spa and depriving ourselfs of the winter wonderland. We do however have a windbreak made of cedar trees which when covered in snow is to gorgeous for words. The run from the house to the spa in the winter isnt to bad, just remember to where your touque. Another upside is you can just jump right out of the tub and make nekkid snow angels and hop back in LOL.

: Hi Monica,

: I'll go against the traffic, here. We have our
: tub in a screened-in gazebo right now, and
: are building a screened porch right at the
: back door, which, for winter, will be
: closed-in with plexiglass for a little
: protection.

: I don't know about you, but our winters in
: Northern Wisconsin can be a little like
: Siberia. I'm going to need a little bit of
: house warmth to get me out that back door
: from December through March. Then, in the
: summer, we have Black Flies that bite, draw
: lots of blood, and leave an itchy welt for
: weeks. Not to mention the mosquitoes and
: deer flies--oh, and I'd also just as soon
: have privacy from the neighbors. I'm not
: into "dressing for company"!

: I still get to experience the outdoors from
: behind my screen. I have flower baskets and
: various bird feeders hanging just outside,
: and the humming birds come right up to
: within inches of my face--they even seem to
: like the steam when it's cold outside. This
: winter, I will still be plenty cold and able
: to watch the snow fall, right next to me.
: I'm just not tough enough for the
: extremes--you should think about whether you
: are.
