Ain't that the truth.

Now I get to DRIVE to Wisconsin today.
5.5 hours with two kids asking "are we there yet?"

No options to rent an aircraft?

IFR forecast along his route. Freezing mist and fog changing to freezing
rain up by me.

It's been a rotten early winter for flying up here in the midwest. Repeated
systems of low clouds, ice, drizzle, freezing rain, or snow and wind with no
breaks between them.

Tell me about it. I spent 5 extra days in Milwaukee after Christmas trying to
get back to Virginia. Just got back yesterday. Really low MVFR/IFR with ice in the
clouds through from IA to PA for days.

In about another hour, we'll loose that 1 degree C, and the fog will start
freezing to everything.... again.

The high was 82 deg. f. here today. (NW Oklahoma)... on the 3rd of January. We've had two weeks of unseasonably
warm weather. Of course everything is so dry that there are wild prairie fires raging in the area. Winds are
gusting to 40. They just evacuated a small town to the northwest of us. We're about 12 inches behind normal on
rainfall and we only get about 20 per year. I'd trade some warmth for some moisture!

There probably is, but it is most likely a high wing Cessna.
And we all know Jay would not be caught flying a high wing airplane,
don't we? :-))
