Default RE: Flying in winter time.

Piper_chuck,
Yahoo!!!!!!! I finally found something that we disagree on!!!! This is the one thing that I just don't do well on. 10 years in the Army and I know for a fact that I just don't function well when I'm cold. I don't like it, no way, no how. But I do enjoy seeing a little bit of a snow storm once and awhile (yeah I know, I'm contradicting myself there). That's one of the reasons why I like living here in Oklahoma, we get a little bit of winter but not too much. Snows once or twice each winter and the snow is usually gone in a day or so. And we usually get at least 1-2 flying weekend each winter month. And winter flying for me is 50° or above. There are a lot of weather that is flyable for me, but it's just not funable for me. And if it's not fun I'm not going out.

The only exception I have is our traditional New Year's Day fly. We go out no matter what the weather. This year it was 30-40 mph winds. 2 quick flights and then off for coffee!!!
