Default weather

Im a teacher in Michigan and we have three weeks off for the holiday and I was thinking im getting lots of flying in. Wrong! not one day! too cold windy or rainy. We had a day of 52 deg rain and wind, then it goes to a calm day with a high of 20. not catching a break. Im not a cold weather flyer anyway

I got Ghosts 2005 and an Ansel Adams calendar for Christmas.

They're both broken . . .

It's January 2 down heah in hotLanta, and it was an even 70 degrees yesterday, 68 today.

Somebody cancelled our 'Winter'.

Hard to stay in the building shed when it's warm enough to do outside stuff . . .

Common John, a little rain won't kill you I've been flying for the past couple of weeks, and it didn't turn out to be that bad. In fact, I'm heading out to the field now in 34 degrees temp.

It was absolutely gorgeous here in Northeast Ohio yesterday, temperature in the 50's no wind and not a cloud in the sky. I loaded up my truck and drove to our club field only to find the road closed due to flooding. Our field is mostly under water. There is a creek that borders our field and water is way over the banks. We had heavy snows that all melted very quickly due to the unusally warm weather. It's been over a month since I last flew and it may be another month before I get a chance again.[]

Same situation here Tim, as I work for a public school district and also had those days off.
Residing in South Florida, I figured on getting in much flying on a new Alfa foamy warbird. Not so! Everyday its been 20-25 MPH winds, though I did get much building accomplished.
