Final Approach
Was supposed to go to Florida; then, South Carolina for Christmas; tried to get out today.
This massive weather system coming from our west lowed the ceilings to 200 feet and vis at 5/8 mile. Just didn't want to launch into that and have the possibility of something going wrong; then, having a real challenge returning to the field (or anywhere reasonably nearby).
Oh, well. May get to launch Thursday and fly right back into the system that is currently passing <g>
With all the modern methods of communication, Mother Nature could have let me know the ceilings and vis would get bad a couple hours ahead. Hey! I'm on the net and have a mobile phone with text messaging!!
Best,
Dave
