Thumbs up

Snow is a different critter; especially if localized. Almost EVERY small airports in my area completely shuts down to stuck-wing aircraft when there is any accumulation of snow. Fortunately, we aren't limited by a runway. So, I agree with Vfrpilotpb... those are really great days to fly. There usually is NOT another aircraft in the sky (except the occassional 747 above 18,000' enroute to Dulles). What's wrong with that?
