Sunday Flying?

Post by Batman »

Not sure how the forecast will turn out, but Breezewood is calling ESE @ 13 for Sunday. Possible Bill's Hill day? Any thoughts from the Peanut Gallery ... not Tad ... the other Peanut Gallery :mrgreen:

Tomorrow's forecast for Breezewood is ESE @ 15, at Ridgely ENE @ 10-15. I'm still thinking Bills has possibility. Current forecast calls for cloudy in the morning with Sunny in the afternoon. Jack's just seems to far to drive with current gas prices. 8 hours round trip to Jack's compared with 5 hours round trip to Bills. Will continue to monitor ... but I got the Jeep's oil changes and tires balanced in case I have to put the hang gliding vehicle to good use tomorrow.

"winds around 10 mph with gusts up to 25 mph"
150% gust factor - I think I'll pass on it today. The long Sunday drive is a factor, too.

Weather channel is calling for 10-20 ESE at Breezewood and 10-15 ENE at Ridgely. Not seeing any 150% gust forecasts ... but don't feel like flying in that rowdy of air anyway. Will give it a bit and watch the emerging forecasts before I make a decision. Anyone else on the fence?
