We have barely seen freezing temperatures this winter. I still have green grass in my yard.
Flew the float plane last Friday at 55°.
This is the most unusually warm winter I can remember. The last three storms came out of the southwest not the normal northeast. The southwest storms have...

Glad your bad day was without injury and relatively minor damage to your cub.
I am always interested in learning about head impacts during / after a slow speed crash in a cub.
