The air temperature was about 36 degrees, with water temperatures at 62 degrees around the time of the crash, said Donovan Landreneau, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, La. Wind was blowing from the west at 23 knots, and there was a small craft advisory in effect.
It was snowing in New Orleans today folks....some of Al Gore's global warming in action.
A fine day to go flying over water without survival suits.....probably in a single engine aircraft to boot!
