One of the things I did on my training was to take some .010 opaque
plastic and make shields that fit the corners of the windshield on my
172. They were about 6" high and about 16" long. This provided the
vision block to the side. I did find the sun would give "clues" as you
turned.

Come to central NY. Typically there is a low overcast over our region
thanks to Lake Ontario.

However, I do have to admit that this summer we have had more than our
share of embedded t-storms.

Then, of course, there is the issue of icing from October to April...

Well, OK, in May and September it is good. :-)
