We're back to rain (snow up north) in wi. One of these days I hope the runway will no longer be the swampy morass it is now. Supposedly it is spring here is the frozen tundra, but it sure doesn't seem that way. Pete Ugh I think I need to get out of the great white north. 100 miles north of Me they got 12-18" of snow. Heck they even went out and groomed the Birkie cross country ski trails yesterday. Pete


I hear it is snowing in Kansas City too. there is an AWESOME looking cu field in west-central kansas, extending down into texas. blipmaps look good too. sure wish i was independently wealthy and had a motorglider!!!
