Almost my story to a T, Jay.

Sorry, man. You'll have to come to Iowa and we'll go fly up the
Mississippi. It's a very pretty flight.

Of course, I'm one to talk. This is the worst winter for flying I can
remember. Today is another wonderful day, with a 600 foot overcast,
drizzle, ice in the clouds, and high winds...

Look up midwest in the dictionary and that is the definition.

Nah. Usually at this time of year, we're sitting under a big ol' Canadian
artic high pressure bubble, with crystal clear skies, light winds, and
frigid temperatures. Someone apparently forgot to tell the Canadians, this
year.

Although I must admit to liking the mid-40s a LOT better than minus 10, it
sure makes for very little flying weather.

I checked our airport's FBO logs last week. They had 5 transient planes in
7 days. We've had just a handful of fly-in guests since Christmas.

Crappy, crappy weather...

Really? I just checked the Weather Channel's 10 day forecast, and the
coldest we're supposed to get here in Iowa is 25 F, with highs well above
freezing each day.

THAT is about as good as you can expect around here in what is statistically
the coldest part of the winter! Especially when you consider how cold
December was...

I'll have to look firsthand. Someone told me that, and I believed him.
Seems you can't trust anyone, nowadays. g
