Hey Team! Here in Minneapolis, we missed "The Big One". Unlike Muncie, the ground is "barely covered" with white stuff. However, the temps are minus -10 to -15 below zero. Hi (daytime) temp may hit +2.
Just thought I would mention a tradition which our club conducts each January. We schedule a "Freeze Fly" on New Years Day. A dozen hardy souls head out on the surface of a frozen lake; launch a few sailplanes with a hi-starts, hand launch and electric park flyers, just to say we did it; drink hot chocolate (I think it's "hot chocolate" in those thermos bottles!); and head back to where it's warm and welcoming. Any other interesting winter "Soaring Club Traditions" to share? Merry Christmas to all!

Not as much in my area of Michigan, maybe 6 to 8 but a lot a wind and two foot drifts in the drive. Kids are coming, grandkids are coming, wife is going nuts with cooking so I came up to my office to hide. It will be a busy and fun filled couple of d[Bill Rakozy] ays in Mich.
