this is the way I feel

Maybe you jinxed yourself with the "Eat Your Heart Out" thread...???

The weather's thumbing it's nose atcha...[]

Lucky that you aren't in the Colorado high country

Gee Irish, you forget we're in snow country. I'm thinking skis.[>:]

Gene, it's warm here but we have been getting hit with rain all week plus the over cast sky with wind. Either or, take your choice. No flying but good weather to be building. I haven't gotten the word yet but I'm thinking our dry lake bed isn't so dry at the moment. When the weather does break I will be flying at a real RC field for a while. That means I will have to do some of that pilot stuff and line up to a runway and everything!! That keeps a lot of lake bed pilots grounded!!

Hey Herb Calvin where do you fly. Not to far from where I am. South central MI near OH & IN border. We have an elect. fly in June- lots of pilots. I will have to send you something on it. Do you go to the Weak Signals show in Toledo? I have a super stick on floats just waiting to go.

actually got in some flying toay, light winds overcast ,45 , field was in perfect condition

I know what you mean about the weather, these 86-95 degree F (30-35 degrees C) days we are having are utter hell ....... as the horrible north west winds (130kph / 81mph + gusts) that are causing that warmth are starting to do my head in - they already broke one of the poles that hold up my old 3 man dome tent that my daughter was using as a playhouse out in the backyard!
Least tomorrow is going to give us some respite from all this summer madness!!!!!

Guess ya won't be celebrating a "white" Christmas. But that can have its advantages for sure!!!!

I know, I know, global warming is a son of a gun. Did I just say that?

Us celebrating a "white" xmas .... that will be a big ol' 'negative' there sir, the nice weather lady said last night we'll be having a nice old sunny summers day this Saturday!

It's kinda funny, I used to fly 'traction kites' before getting into rc helis and planes, and by default liked the excessive wind (sea breezes) we get as standard in summer down here in Christchurch.
Now I long for winter and the lack of the normal winds that we get when it's too cold for the thermals that cause our summer wind conditions, now it's better flying and a lot of jackets, beanies and runny noses in winter ..... it's funny how life throws you curve balls at times!
Least I still have all my stunt kites in the garage for the next few months .....

I will be looking forward to Mid May, when I can get the tractor to stay on top of the flying field, not sink into it...

Just did a maiden here yesterday. Wind was whipping pretty good up until about 3:30PM, then it died off to nothing, 82 degrees.

Now Now you should all come up to Saskatchewan Canada. Its -22 deg C today, I might even have to wear a pare of gloves to fly today.

cold here and windy, even at night!! ihave a twist 60 I need to maiden!! [:@] Well can't control the weather. So will just sit in the basement, and play guitar! with the marshall volume turned up to 11!!! Maybe I can change the weather with heavily distorted electric guitar!!!! I have read that I should reinforce the Fuse just behind the cockpit in the twist. So guess i can do that while waiting for a good flying day.

Please don't be offended when I reply with "-22 deg C ..... are you crazy!?!?!?!?!?!" (lol) ..... think I'll stay put and put up with my excessive winds and nice summers day's (i think the coldest we got down here is like -8 or -9 C degrees at night in winter)

Bob we get down to -40 c here at times, of course most of us have quit flying long before that LOL. This is our building and repairing time

Today in west Texas its a nippy 65 degrees Fahrenheit! The wind has been blowing on the weekends however. So dont think we have it all that easy

Rain is supposed to stop tomorrow for a few days, the weekend may be a OK for flying?

Wow you guys got it bad! i have been flying for over 15 years and i just can't fly when it's cold,don't get me wrong i love to fly as much as the next guy just have trouble flying when im shaking.i used to fly up around northern ohio and it was just to cold this time of year.

man you guys are lucky in the philadelphia area there is NOTHING. i wish there was snow hopefully all that snow you guys got comes up here to the philly area

If you hear a loud 'thud' ... that's my jaw hitting the table in utter shock and disbelief ... [sm=eek.gif]

[sm=cry_smile.gif] our forecast, rain, changing to freezing rain, changing to snow, 2-4" this sucks

LOL, It is 74 today in C fla.</p>

[>:]Well hear in fly over land Menenasota (if your swedish) the last 2 w/e we have had snow first 18'" then another 6 and for us thats a lot and temps are a balmey -2 f to 29 f , so i just clean/blow from the drive way and walks, its not the snow it's the d***m drifts that are the problem, So I just go back to the shop and work on what ever build I have going.

You northern guys stay warm, and the warm climate guys have fun

Sorry about the spelling just to lazy to fix
