Winnipeg bound.

I understand there may be one or two foreigners heading CYWG way in the not too distant future.

If they happen to see this (and want to save some money), drop me a PM.

Oh, and bring you woollies

It's not that bad

Not that bad? Snow in August not that bad?
Not much of a summer here either but at least its still warm enough for more appropriate "summer" clothing!

Not including windchill. It was one of the coldest winters in ages! I know the Peg dosen't need windchill, it manages happily without it

Shhhhhhh! You'll scare them off!

And they were officially "snow crystals" that managed to reach the ground. Nothing like that little blizzard we had there at the end of May.

I did my CPL at Gimli in 1992 between May and October. I seem to remember it was pretty warm. This side of the Altantic it is apparently getting warmer and wetter (which is OK if you're with a woman, but ain't no good if your on the Prarie...). Don't you guys have Global Warming?

Yeah, we are saying that if this is global warming we are all for it. Not one day above 100 yet here in North Texas this year. Four REAL cold fronts in two months and more days in the low 80's than you can shake a stick at. We are in HEAVEN...

I think most people in Winterpeg this year have started to leave their cars on idle for most of the day...in the hopes of creating global warming.

Personally, I've been trying to purchase as many aerosol canned products as possible...anything to make that giant hole up there larger to open up some rays to us.

I'm tired of the snow and ice too, so I'm transfering down to Atlanta Georgia (A80) Large Tracon. Starting on September 5th I'll be using the sign on of NATCA A80.

Thought you were already gone! If I'd have known, I'd have asked you to elaborate on the "perfume of mass destruction" at FWA lately!

Jerricho:

I heard the rumour in the canteen at a large ATC facility on the South coast of England. Subsequently heard elsewhere.

Ahhh..............

We could really start the rumour mill going as I believe there could be TWO Brits who may be deciding to head home.
