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"

Times like these are when you wish you had even a small back-up generator...

If he quite blowing hot air, I suspect the earth would cool one degree overnight. And if Hilary shut her trap, we'd gain two degrees! Matt

Back to the original topic, we just had some "thunder snow" here in
Madison. Thunder and lightning during a snowstorm. I've only heard/ seen it a few times. We got something like 8 inches of snow last night, another 12-14 tonight. the plane is safely tucked away in the hanger. -Ryan
