Ice storm!
Freezing rain has been coming down all day here in Iowa City. We've
got 1/2 inch of ice on everything, huge tree limbs crashing down, grenade-sized chunks of ice raining down. No one is flying. No one is driving. Most areas have no power. (We still do, thankfully!) Crazy.... And they're talking about 6 - 10 inches of snow tomorrow! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

If you keep your power, I predict that you will be totally full, for the next few days. Time to switch to survival mode! -- Jim in NC

Today here in North Central TX we had 60mph winds and the dust of west TX come though.

Sounds like a great time to climb into the sim cockpit and see if you can handle the weather. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
