Interesting flying gliders in this weather - if it is below freezing when we get them out of the hangar, they frost up pretty quickly.
The good news is that with an East wind, by the time it gets to the midlands the sun usually comes out. If the glider is parked sensibly in the sunshine, the frost simply sublimates. After 20 minutes or so off you go, dressed in snowboots, long johns, sweaters, ski suit, woolly gloves, scarf, Russian fur hat with ear flaps, aviator sunglasses, electrically heated socks - and a parachute.
The worst bit about flying gliders in this weather is driving the quad bike to tow the glider back to the launchpoint.
