Default Looks like we're in for it...


Even managed to get in some approaches LOL today.


Me too. I just got back from doing 6 approaches in a C170B. The further
west we flew the closer that nasty stuff Montblack referred to came to us.
So we kept moving east to stay VFR. Shot one ILS IFR, then headed south to
clearer weather to finish with some GPS and VOR approaches. Ground
visibility was 10. 2000 feet up, visibility was about 5 with light snow.
No ice or freezing rain. I suspect as the evening wears on, the flakes will
get bigger. As I look out the window now, ground vis is about 1 1/2 miles
in a frosty fog with very fine snow falling.

Glad I got some flying in before it got this ugly.
