Yeah doesn't look good for southern Ohio, NW Ohio and the Greater Cleveland area look to fare pretty well but it's still awhile out. I'd say 4-8" right now is what is to be expected but things may change as we get closer. I think the more impressive thing this winter has been the cold, Findlay is not expected to break freezing for at least a week and in all honesty it's closer to two

I do not, but thanks!

It's actually a wedding cruise. My friends will be getting married on the ship Sunday morning, and then we leave for Cozumel, Belize, Roatan and Grand Cayman later that day. There are about 18 or so friends plus the families of the bride and groom. Should be a pretty great time.

Also, this is happening:





Each person can take one bottle of wine or champagne on the boat in their carry-on. So that's my Sobieski Riesling.

How did you reseal them?

I am asking for the obvious reason that I leave for a cruise Dec. 29th and need to know.

We got a wine corker, corks and foil from a local wine shop. It only take a few minutes per bottle.

How many people are going on your cruise? It may not be worth it for you to buy all of the supplies. My other suggestion would be this, which we are also doing:

There are also the white Listerine bottles if you have a dark liquor.

Just two of us. It is worth it to not have to pay for alcohol lol, depending on the price of the corker...

I believe it was around $25 for the corker. We bought all new bottles, corks, labels, etc. But since there are so many of us, the supplies are only adding on about $5 to the price of the alcohol itself.

They sell empty bottles? Or you bought new wine and just drank it? I guess I had no idea that liquor stores solid supplies individually like that. Ill have to look into it for sure.

We bought 12 packs of empty wine bottles. They sell all of those supplies for people who make their own wine. I don't see why you couldn't use an old bottle, though.

Is it because its a wedding cruise you are allowed to do this? Usually cruises dont let you bring any alcohol on board whether its wine or not.
