The ADDS page shows NW winds on Monday - a federal holiday. I will be out flying somewhere on Monday.

Bacil and I were the only ones to show and both of us were suprised that no others came. He said the wind was good possibly soarable when he got there at 10:45 but when I got there after 1:00 he was breaking down and the wind was lighter. I hit showers and rain most of the way there but it was dry at Bills though you could see showers in the distance. I did a pg sled in about 4 - 7 mph winds and Bacil graciously picked me up. When we got back up it had improved a bit but some showers to the NE were gradually getting closer, so after a while we headed home. I hit some showers on the way home but not as bad as going.
