New York. Raining for 3 days. Unusually warm weekend (50s) but miserable
weather except for ducks. Supposed to clear by Wed and temp dropping to single digits. Have Angel Flight Thursday -Albany to New Haven. I like clear and cold. :-) www.Rosspilot.com |

In Iowa, in the winter, you can see 1000 miles by standing on a chair. A cute, but common, misperception. Parts of Iowa are far from flat! And while Iowa City is not mountainous by any stretch, we live on a hill. The hotel, of course, being adjacent to the airport, is on a flat-as-a-pancake parcel of land just south of some pretty good ridge-lines. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I am ready for winter to be over. the strong winds aloft are a killer when your ready to get back home. Mmm... a pleasant treat for us here on the USA East Coast Saturday as I flew to the NC outer banks where the temps were in the mid 70s. Fairly clear with a little haze as the wind was quite calm (the ride was like the living room couch)! |

When it's this cold, I don't care about preheating the airplane, I can't be bothered putting on all that cold weather gear on me! Of course Wed. it'll be back into the 50s. Here in the 'burb's of Phoenix it was 27 last night, mid 60's during the day :~) Sometime in the next two or three months I have to make a permanent move to Colorado Springs, mid 30's and -1 right now! :~( (for now) but :~) come summer when Phoenix is 115 (OWWW...damn door handle). |

Last I remember all it takes is the wind to shift from the west and 3 hours later it's 20 to 30 degrees warmer. Wellll... That was in Boulder. Here? Midland Mi...Same oh, same oh... Dull, dreary, cloudy, clear for Michigan (visibility is over 6) with a low of around 5. Course we don't get to have those breathers like you do out near the mountains. Course I don't remember having 9 feet of snow here, like they did at my Daughter's place near Rollinsville last Winter. I don't think we've had a storm with more than a foot of snow in over 15 years. Up into the 60s two or three feet with 5 foot plus drifts wasn't uncommon. OTOH I only have to fly about a 100 miles north or NW to find winter.
