Daniel's on Saturday?

Post by RedBaron »

Right now S 10 mph no rain, relatively warm.
Good idea? Bad idea?

My guessis Daniels is a good bet for tomorrow. I'd be willing to entertain going there tomorrow depending on how the forecast holds up.

Daniels traditionally works best in the mid-afternoon since it faces to the South.

I have a 4wd.

I'm giving Daniel's on Sat some serious thought. NWS is
calling 60% cloud cover and 15 SSW at the surface, so
could be worth a try.

ADDS 3k is calling strong SW, so will have to be aware
of rotor over the Blue Ridge.

Possibly an early High Rock or Woodstock day on Sunday?
Would be great to welcome springtime with a double-barrel
weekend!!!

Janni, Glen, Dan, and I are going to give Daniel's a try.

What the heck, at least it's warm, and the 'cast is calling
for decent sun until 4pm. ETA: Noon-ish.

Turned out to be fairly good for both HG & PGs. I think 6 HG and 7 PG with most everyone getting soaring flights with Nelson getting the HG fod and Juan getting the PG fod and an XC. Soaring flights ranged from 10 mins - 2+ hours with me bagging a 35 min flight and a later sled. Nice temps for March but the road is sure getting rough.
