MOT UUA /OV MOT/TM 1645/FLUNKN/TP B52/RM LLWS -20KT 005-010

This was from Monday morning. I decoded it as "Don't fly today." But that's just because the aircraft urgently complaining about wind shear has a fuel burn 9 times my plane's gross weight per hour.
 
Probably a good call. That's what the intention of PIREPs are for. Good choice IMO.
 
Wind shear loss of 20kts by a B52? Good call
