vskydiver 0 #26 April 21, 2008 Quote You should make one of those for me.... Red.. shiny.... Fast My new suit is not that kind of shiny. You know how I hate to make those rubber suits! This one is a taffeta plaid (black, grey, red) with metallic silver threads running through it here and there to give it a sparkle. I also put a couple metallic silver stripes down the booties to tie it all in. It's different. I don't think I'd ever seen a plaid suit before so I had to try it out.

BillyVance 35 #27 April 21, 2008 Quote Warmer sea temps... mean more evaporation off of the ocean so there is more moisture in the atmosphere. The Cascades have record levels of snow even though the temps this winter were fairly warm here in Americas version of crappy English weather. I have seen snow in Rochester, NY (lake-effect) as late as mid May! And yeah, being an Alabama boy, that blew my mind. I woke up that morning in my apartment and wondered why the fuck the light coming through the window was so whitish. Took a peek out and my eyes got big and I blurted out "SNOW?!?!?" loud enough to wake my roommates.

Amazon 7 #30 April 21, 2008 Hey.. told ya so... Winter time students are served far better with static line traiing when the weahter is so uncooperative. Just think you could be up to doing 5 or 10 sec delays at this point.... and be pretty good with getting your landings down pat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just unfortunate that this has been a really cold spring. It just seems like it's still winter. She should be able to get back up in the air soon. We'll see you out there next weekend DangerRoo!

I think 4" of snow on Friday night and a 2 hour commute home in that crap.... and then 2" more on Saturday night.. does not qualify for SPRING in my book...luckily I still have 1.5 cords of wood to make it thru this "SPRING" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vskydiver 0 #33 April 21, 2008 Yes, it is spring. Check the calendar. I agree that it's a weird spring! We don't usually get snow in the winter much less the spring. Hopefully we'll get a good summer now. We're due one! Sending warm thoughts your way! All our snow has melted now but it's still really cold! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it's not letting up!! I just shoveled AGAIN (6th time since Saturday) and I'll probably have to do it at least twice more. Fuckin' weather! Long range forecast doesn't look like it'll warm up until the early part of May ...'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #35 April 21, 2008 Quote All our snow has melted now but it's still really cold! We got a little five-minute snow shower at around 11:30 last night as I was getting ready for bed. I opened up the blinds and turned on the porch light and let my cat Franklin watch. He was at first fascinated, then totally freaked out by it. He kept standing up and grabbing the handle of the door, then whimpering at me like he was terrified by it. I almost let him go out but it would have made my bedroom really damn cold, and probably freaked him out even more. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
