Final Approach
It looks like I'm grounded this weekend by a combination of MVFR ceilings and low freezing levels. There is even an icing airmet for down as low as 4000 feet in northern New England, 7000 as far south as the NYC area. That might not be a problem for IFR in southern New England, but up here the MIA is 5400, and MEAs of 6000 are not uncommon. The initial segment altitudes for all of the approaches into my home base of KMPV are at least 5000.
The last 2-3 weeks have been mostly flyable, and we had one day that would have been great for shooting approaches locally, if I'd been current. But lately we've taken a step back into icing season. New England is under an unseasonably cold pool of air that shows no sign of moving off anytime soon.
Let's all be careful out there!!
