Looks great for the Pulpit Saturday.? I plan on getting there early w/ snow shovel, salt, and sand (not kitty litter!).? Already got the stuff (salt and sand and shovel) to provide weight in the bed of the truck.? Looking for interested pilots.? The old ramp should be clear and salted by 10AM.? Should be soarable for a good bit of the day.? Should be a beautiful landscape to soar over, and maybe go XC over.

Arrived 9:30A to snow flurries and light SW to W on the old ramp.? Dropped off the salt and shovel at the base of the parking lot and parked the truck at the bar.? Got the old ramp shoveled, salted, and cleared by 10AM.? Monitored the Hagerstown Airport AWOS.? It was reporting 220 at 06.? Sky started clearing upwind around 11AM, and the wind straightened out on the ramp.? Hagerstown Airport now had 260 at 8.? By 12 noon it was straight in and soarable, and beautiful cloud streets beckoned downwind along Rt. 30 towards Chambersburg.? When I left at 1:30PM it was strong (15 to 20), straight in, but launchable.? Looked like a great XC day along Rt. 30.
