We haven't seen a Cu down here in Region 2 all week, even though it's been pretty soarable. Looks like the really good stuff has stayed just north.

Still, it's getting on to being the best Spring we've had in quite some time.

Me too!...but I settle for watching Waveguru's video from his Abert Rim adventure. :(

Why weren't you up today ? At one point we
had 11.7 knots on the averager in the Duo.
Bases up to 10,000 - in New England !!
I didn't go far from Sterling, just Keene-
Turner Falls-return (for my bi-annual),
but others went much further...
See ya, Dave

That "surly bond" thing. Hoping this dry wx can hold on through the weekend.

Word is our favorite PW-6 pilot took a tow to 1200 AGL and promptly climbed to 9400 AGL at KVSF today.

After a decent 70 degree yesterday. We're back to rain (snow up north) in
wi. One of these days I hope the runway will no longer be the swampy morass
it is now.

Supposedly it is spring here is the frozen tundra, but it sure doesn't seem
that way.

Moriarty is back on a 7 day per week schedule. A few days ago, I got off at
1,100' AGL (7,300' MSL) in 18 kts lift, climbed to 15,000' and headed out.
Top of the flight was 17,800' MSL. Ah... High desert soaring. It just
can't be beat for reliability!

Ugh I think I need to get out of the great white north. 100 miles north of
Me they got 12-18" of snow. Heck they even went out and groomed the Birkie
cross country ski trails yesterday.

I hear it is snowing in Kansas City too. there is an AWESOME looking cu field in west-central kansas, extending down into texas. blipmaps look good too. sure wish i was independently wealthy and had a motorglider!!!

One person's stationary high pressure system is another person's stationary low pressure system. It's just working out in New England's favor today.

I was in an airliner from St. Louis to LAX yesterday and can attest to
the cu field in Kansas. It looked like there was some wonderful
soaring conditions down there.

Looks (on OLC) like the ridge was working.
