This weather is really pi££ing me off

Arranged to take a work colleagues hubby to Duxford on Monday-no chance, the cloud at Cov was at 1200' all day (ATIS said 1800' but it was less as I went up to have a look).So as not to disappoint my guest I did some circuits.
Wx today-pretty much perfect

On the up side,he brought a neat bit of kit with him though-he makes GPS based dataloggers for race cars that output a vast array of data but has not tried it in an a/c before.He fixed one up by sticking a tiny video camera to the screen and the very small 'black box' on his lap.When we got home,SD card into my PC and presto, video of taxying out,lining up and circuits overlaid with time,groundspeed (displayed as a round analogue speedo),alt,lat/long,heading etc.Made up for the earlier disappointment.

What has happened to those crystal clear,frosty days with unlimited vis and no haze etc?

Frustrated
