Well winters over. I took Glenn’s advice and flew with the door open

Saturday hoping for lunch on lake Adirondack at noon. Jake measured 7+ inches of ice. Said ok for BWs.
Raquette is also ok for BWs.
Trying to find a place for breakfast?


Whatever day works

Sunday
I've been trying to find out about Speculator ice but don't have a good answer yet. So noon at Raquette Taproom. Looks like less wind and some sun
 
Glenn, Jake asked if I wasn’t coming today because it was clear blue skies everywhere.




I told him I had enough Adirondack Alaska vis yesterday.

OK, Glenn. Hope it was elective and worked.

Four airplanes into Great Valley [N56] for lunch yesterday. They were a PA-11, a PA-12, a PA-18 Top Cub, and a Cessna 150/150 TW. The Top Cub is on bush wheels and the rest on skis.

Three airplanes into Ridge Road West [7NK4] for lunch today. A PA-11, PA-12, and a Taylorcraft F-21, all on skis.

It hasn't been cold enough long enough in western NY for lake ice thick enough to land on. Those that have any ice at all on them heve 4 inches max. Thick enough for some Ice fishermen but not for me. After tomorrow, there won't be any snow on the ground at my place for at least a week.

Here you go Glenn, some pictures from the last two weeks. I'm probably long overdue from posting a few pictures in here!

I was just flying around aimlessly looking for some snow. Should have stopped bye to say hi. Next time. How are you healing up?

Jim
 
Good news, Glenn.

Jim, I saw you go by Creekside this morning. Looked like you were headed for Dansville.

I was out with the PA-11 a little later. Just bopped around locally with several landings in different locations. I was heading down Bristol Valley when I heard you returning to Williamson. Forty-five minutes after I put the airplane back in the hangar, there wasn't enough snow on the runway to take off on straight skis. Looks like I will be in the barn for a while before we get more snow here.
