Yeah we also have about 8" here in Carol Stream. If it wasn't so darn cold, (4 degrees F right now) I think I could deal with the snow. I was out yesterday running in a new Magnum 46, I was OK in the early stages. Later as everything in the flight box got colder, I noticed a degradation of usefulness. It was 27 yesterday. I think today I'll stay indoors and fly the Blade MCX and push the assembly along on my second Avistar.
