Another possibility for the weekend might be Daniel's.
I see 10-15 SW on the surface, with 10-15 SW at 3k,
increasing to 20-30 SW by Saturday night.
So it seems like there should be a window in there with
some reasonable winds.
Anyone up for it, provided that there's at least some sun?

Mark, call me when you get a look at conditions. It's snowing in Manassas at the moment.

Forecast has deteriorated since last night. Surface 'casts
of only 5-10, and more importantly, the prospects for a
decent amount of sun seem pretty remote.
I plan to keep an eye on the satellite images for a while
this AM, might consider giving it a try if I see something
encouraging.

Mark, that was pretty much my observation as well. I would have been surprised to hear anything else from you, but hope springs eternal I guess.
It's overcast and dreary here east of Manassas.

The satellite loop does seem to show some clearer skies in WVA
that might be heading into central VA - that's why I haven't written
off the day.

It's clearing out, but the winds are just so light, I can't
see driving down there. Think I'll find a pick-up game
of ultimate instead...
