Thanks for that guys! I'm sure that Paul has it worse than I do. I saw on the news that parts of New York (Pauls home state) has 3+ feet of snow. That's a lot!!! I'm in NE Indiana, about 30 minutes south of the Michigan border. It's quite cold and windy right now. All we can do is dress in layers when we go out and hope for the best. I'm afraid the only flying that I'll be doing for a while will be on the Sim.

Anyway...Thanks for the concern!!!

I think the UK is not bad at the moment and those Scott's are rugged chaps them,

We could however if the forecasters are getting things right get a bit of the tail end of the front that just dumped the 3 ft on New York State,

Hope Paul and his family are well and safe,

I'm okay here in Syracuse. Buffalo... holy cow they have been hammered. Seeing pictures of homes more or less buried in snow. 6+ feet. Pictures of the thruway (I-91) with 5+ feet on it. Rough start to the season, to say the least. Heard 6 deaths so far, 100+ stranded.

Ohio was hit but not as bad as New York and other areas. We have been hovering around 0-20 degrees the last few days. I have not been outside unless I had to be outside.

Well.. Not as bad as the upper mid-west.. But we got it pretty early here in GA. Couple freezing nights and low/mid 30's for highs.. We don't usually see that till Jan... But I will say it's been a most beautiful Fall that I've seen here in years! Usually we get hot & cold.. But this year I think we'll see 4 distinct seasons. My uncle in Denver & friend in Casper are getting hammered tho.. As I'm sure several of u r.. Keep safe out there!

Sorry to say this guys but we are just coming in to summer in New Zealand.
Flying weather is upon us.
Temperatures between 20c and 25c.
Still a little windy but I am learning to handle that with the mini.

Be safe guys. :)
