NASA Astronaut Diaper chick...
Haven't see WX0F in a synoptic in years (Indefinite Ceiling Obscured Zero
visibility in Fog), of course I quit flying in 2001.
They changed it to the current Eurocentric "Metar/TAF" format a while back.
BR = mist???? Egads. Is that French or something? Thank God for computers.
These days I just have it converted to regular English. Took a .297
checkride once where the POI wanted me to read a TAF/METAR. I just laughed
and had the observation/forcast changed to regular language. It was good
enough. A lot has changed since we got our WX off the teletype, hasn't it?
I spent 5 years in USAFE, I've seen WX0F.
I bet that's right!
Cheers!
