This year, with such unseasonably warm weather, I'm wondering if anyone
is seeing more GA traffic?

Snort. Here in the Seattle area over the last month, we've had record rainfall
(and when it's a record in Seattle, it's a LOT of rain), flooded streets,
flooded houses (one woman drowned in her own basement), flood airports, rain
followed by freezes, rain followed by several inches of snow (not significant in
the Midwest, but significant in an area that rarely sees it and is very hilly)
storms featuring 100 MPH winds (significant in an area with a zillion trees in
very, VERY soggy soil) and power failures affecting over a million people (I
live in an urban area ~10 miles from Sea-Tac airport, my power was out for four
days, friends in more remote areas were out for a week). And with all the
moisture, even when it ISN'T raining, fog forms at the drop of a hat.

Daddy, tell me that fairy story again, the one about good weather... :-)

I flew exactly twice during the entire month of December...on the second, and on
the 31st. On the 2nd, the air was so milky with haze and fog I didn't even
leave the airport area; it was like flying inside a cow.
