Default Garmin 396 Trip Report (long)

Storm avoidance is CERTAINLY an issue VFR.

No doubt the 396 helped a lot in getting the big picture of the
weather. However from reading your report the entire trip was VFR, so
the storm avoidance isn't really an issue here isn't it? You see that
dark thing in your windshield, and you turn around and land :-)

By the way, I am Instrument rated. But there was no way I was going to
attempt flying in the clouds that day. The cold/damp conditions almost
assured getting a load of ice in the clouds.
Thanks,
