RE: Will spring ever come?
We don't suffer from that malady out here.........this is Vancouver Island! We get the 'Pinapple Express' up the Pacific from Hawaii and have a very moderate climate.
We get to fly every week! Outdoors we have a shelter complete with wood stove and one of the best flying sites in the country, and we fly indoor at a hudge equestrian centre.
There is a Monday float fly group that flys every week of the year and last year only missed three Mondays over the winter months because of rain. This year, not sure.
The biggest problem is.....there's no time to build.
