Wow! You must be having a hell of a thunderstorm season, Richard.

This summer, weather datalink has helped me to make every trip I've
planned without a single cancellation (although I did land short once).
In the last 5 weeks I've flown 30 xc hours despite widespread
thunderstorms over the entire South nearly every day. That's with a lot
less capable airplane than you have.

I'd be interested to read your go/no go parameters. What kinds of
summer conditions keep you on the ground?
