Well, I'm from Boston so that's my frame of reference. The way I understand
it, out in those parts you get two kinds of weather: VMC, and Don't Even
Think About It, at least not in a 172.

I don't know about Florida, but AZ basically doesn't have weather?? I
missed
the first part of this thread, but this sentence caught my eye. Ever been
to AZ
June-Sept? or more recently, during the first part of this month? It isn't
like
Seattle, and it's a common *mis*conception, but assuming AZ even
*basically*
doesn't have weather could get ya into a heap-a-trouble.
