-I guess we just have to hope that the trade off for a carp spring is a stunning summer?

-I was going to Fenland next Sat to their spotter's fly in, looking at the forecast I doubt the field will even be open...:(
Breighton fly in the Sunday after, let's hope it's cleared up a bit by then.
God, you have to be bloody keen to fly GA in this country.

Pity it doesn't work that way. :(
We have low (anticyclonic) stratus and wetness down here in Wiltshire, but no snow. We missed it because we pay more council tax in the southwest and our council paid for a warmer airmass for us.
Its a bitch that there is a Siberian high keeping the country cold and snowbound. It could last for weeks but probably will improve by end of week I would guess.
If anyone gets to fly while the snow is around you should grab the chance because its a great view, hard to navigate visually though. I had to use radio navs during a snow flight back in the early 1980s I did to Luton (one of the few airports open at the time due to snow). If anyone takes airborne snow pics I'd love to see them on this site!

Have had nothing but a smattering of snow in Lincoln either. What we did get didn't settle.

-It's a nice bright day here and I'm working today so you're safe if you fancy venturing anywhere near WAP. Don't forget to take precautions regarding carb ice though I reckon the 0 degree isotherm is probably sitting at about 500 feet.

Just perusing my logbook whilst looking at the snow and -8C windchill outside. Last year on the 22nd March me and a pal went to Fenland. I noted in the 'comments' column it was 21C and I wore long shorts and a t shirt.
Mind you wasn't it the wettest summer on record?
