Well, I know a few people who claim the (sunny) South shore of Lake Erie doesn't get even 5 months of good flying a year, but about a dozen of us in my club have AMA All-Weather flying status. I haven't missed a monthly flight since I started in Jan 1990. There've been several Januarys and Februarys that I've managed to get in several days flying. This year alone I have at least 25 flights, have completed 4 Balsa RC planes, rebuilt one of them twice, and am working on the third rebuild, completed two kit bashed HO locomotives, 4 kit bashed HO freight and passenger cars, 3 craftsman kit HO Freight cars, 4 Bachman birds, and am almost finished with a fully rigged sailing sloop model.
