Although the weather up here in our neck of the woods has been mild, it as
also been mostly overcast... low overcast. There hasn't been an increase in
the VFR traffic over our normal December/January, in fact, I'd say there has
been less traffic.

The IFR guys are still active with most people waiting until noon and warmer
temps to climb up into the clag. I watched our Aztec divert westward
towards Rochester MN yesterday to get around a line of showers and precip
that extended across southern WI before turning south towards Boone, IA
(Ames area). I was happy to see him make that decision. Even with ground
temps in the 40's there's been plenty of ice above the inversion layers
we've been getting here.
