California winter.

Just curious why this type of weather would cancel your IFR training?
Icing in the clouds or t-storms I could understand, but otherwise I see
this as perfect IFR training weather.

I worked through my entire instrument training all last winter in central
NY. As a result, I had somewhere around 15 hours of actual IMC going into
my practical test.

Not flaming, just sincerely curious.

Lately it has been hard rain (1"/hr) and high winds (20G40 knots) that
have kept a lot of planes grounded here in Northern CA.
