In Iowa, in the winter, you can see 1000 miles by standing on a chair.

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. :-)

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.

Not to the west! Rockie Mountains are 620 nm west of you!

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)!

And it's 5 F. I'm at home in front of a warm computer screen. 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).

Or if you're over 5'10", you don't even need the chair.

A 4 foot high berm is NOT a hill, Jay.

As above.

Wed...That's two days! 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.
