It's unfair- snow!

What happened to globle warming?

Two weeks ago we had weather in the upper Midwest of 78 degrees and sunny.
Took the taildragger out and did some touch and goes at three different
airports, and they went fine. It was the first flight after three months due
to a mandatory prop inspection, and the plane lands hot- 120 in the pattern,
90 on base/final, and no less than 80 over the numbers. Any less and it
sinks like a rock, and with the nose up there's no forward visibility. A
great evening flight.

Well, today and for the next few days we have up to 10 inches of snow
forecast. More snow shoveling in front of the hangar door. More slipping on
the icy ramp. No VFR flight, and lots of wet icy clouds at low altitudes.

What happened to spring?

1) Wait for a VFR day
2) Put your snow shovel in the plane
3) Gas up
4) Take off
5) Fly a heading of 180 degrees, plus or minus 10 degrees
6) Divert as needed to avoid things, but always return to 180 +/- 10
7) About every 100 miles, land at an airport with FBO
8) Gas up
9) Get your snow shovel and walk into the FBO and/or around the airport
10) If nobody comments on the shovel, take off and fly 180 +/- 10 again
11) At the first place where someone points at the snow shovel and asks,
"What the heck is that thing?", immediately rent a hangar and call a
local real estate agent.

I blame the NHL.

Since they pushed the playoffs into what used to be summer, it only makes
sense that the weather would follow.

When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate.

As an aging hockey player and youth coach, I hope the New York Rangers win
the Stanley Cup. It would be the only redeeming aspect of the snow- staying
inside to watch the NHL playoffs.
