Finally -- sunshine!

[Jay Honeck]

After weeks and weeks of clag, freezing rain, snow, sleet, and low ceilings,
the sun is finally beaming down brightly upon Iowa

....but the winds are 28 knots, gusting higher...

....and are not aligned with any runways...

....which are ice covered...

....and the temperature is plummeting...

ARRGGGGHHHH!

Had the day off, too...

Still snowing in Chicago (TAF last night was for 5000 broken :-( - TAFS
seem to be pure guesswork lately) but forecast to clear overnight so I
hope I can fly to DuPage for my annual. Bitter cold, so I'll probably
have to preheat for 2 hours first - At least great performance on
takeoff.

I told you before: Friday... FRIDAY!!!

[Jack Allison]

Oh, you want sunshine *and* cooperative winds? Man, some people! :-)

Hang in there Jay, you'll get some better weather sometime before
Oshkosh this year :-)

We're finally drying out from all the rain...now, it's foggy in the
mornings. Should be fun as I head out to the airport tonight and
Saturday for more instrument lessons.

And to think that just before last week Jay was complaining about the
television weathercreatures and their breathless Storm Watches. When
they saw that, Jay, they ganged up on you and arranged for ten days of clag.

I *have* considered that this is revenge of some sort...

You really should talk to your boss about getting some more days off. She
is driving you way too hard, man!

That's the problem -- me and "The Boss" like to fly together.

Which means paying people to staff the hotel while we're punching holes in
the sky.

Which, in January, is pretty stupid, financially...

But Sunday afternoon is looking like a "go" at this point! :-)

We hope to catch up later today. The sky here is crystal clear, the winds
are calm -- and the temperature is 2 degrees above zero!

By noon, I hope it will be in the teens. And if this is a wide-spread
phenomenon, we'll be heading to Janesville, WI (JVL) for a late lunch!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
