Does the Gulf of Mexico stay warm year around? When can you start going to the beach?
Q. I'm going to Pensacola Florida for spring break and it's on the Gulf of Mexico. Is it warm enough to go to the beach? Is the water freezing?
Asked by Amanda - Mon Mar 1 16:46:05 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well I live on the beach down by st.pete and I wouldnt be in the water right now. However, I see tourist from up north who go in the surf. Last time I checked the surface water temp is 61. The water is going to feel cold no matter who you are. I think a good comparison would be if you were to hop in a lake up north in the summer and be comfortable with the water then you may be fine in the gulf. For locals, the beach season really doesnt begin till closer to memorial day when the water is at least 75.

What type of health issues and problems can we look for living off the gulf of Mexico ?
Q. I wonder if when it gets ready to rain and you look out over the Gulf of Mexico on beautiful Clearwater/ Sand Key Beach, when the clouds suck up the water from the gulf will it also have oil in it? Will it rain on us? Will our beautiful place we live become an oily mess?

Can I use gulf wax for making peanut butter balls?
Q. I have a recipe of my grandmas that calls for paraffin wax. I have made this before but now I am doubting on whether or not I am using the right wax for the recipe. It is Gulf Wax, Household paraffin wax, for canning, candlemaking and many other uses. It does not say anywhere on box, not to be used to candy making, nor does it say that it is not edible. Please help me with this. I have already made about 5 dozen balls and need to know whether to serve or not. TIA
