Worst weather, ever...

North Central Illinois is no better. Blizzards, low ceilings, low
visibility, and freezing rain. It's been an interesting couple of weeks
since Christmas. The forecast is for several more days of rain and
overcast with temps in the 30's. Ugh!

That's our forecast too -- followed by temperatures plummeting to well below
zero.

Right now, though, cold sounds pretty good. I'll happily take one of those
big ol' Canadian high pressure systems, one of those real hum-dingers,
with -20 degree temps but light winds and crystal clear blue skies.

Heck, I've got a good heater, and anything beats freezing fog and rain!

Got one here tonight Jay!


Cold, -15C, no wind, can see every star in the sky.

(New Brunswick , Canada... (East Coast) )

I have been up nights like this... 10K and You can see for
freaking miles.

And at -15C our little Cessna 172 goes up like a homesick
angel (well. relative speaking of course)

Did get 1200 fpm one night with 1/2 tanks & little 'ole
me.....
