Title: What happened to Spring?
Post by: Elwyn Aud on March 28, 2009, 11:03:07 AM: Old Man Winter decided to hang around a bit longer in Oklahoma this weekend. After some very warm days near 80 a short while back this comes as a bit of surprise. I don't think there will be much happening at Reeves Field this weekend. I'm glad the ground was warm or we would probably have seen a foot or so accumulate today.

Title: Re: What happened to Spring?
Post by: Bill Heher on March 29, 2009, 05:11:17 AM: Yeah- what did happen to spring. Seems like it skipped us here in Central Florida and moved right to summer.

Yesterday it was 90, humid amd windy- almost too windy for the shuttle to land. Awoke at 5 am today with thunder crashing and lightning flashing- trees whipping and rain slashing. Seems like a summer day to me!

Hopefully the boss will send me back to Portland in a month and I can enjoy spring up there for a bit!

I called Elwyn to see if he wanted to go flying he thought it might be a little wet. Darn we could flown IFR.

The drainage on the east circle is a little slow, but the center pad was dry and there were a few patches on the edges that were just moist. I only landed in the water once.

Elwyn, where's the floats on that plane? Just think another month or two and we will be wishing for some of this rain. Having fun, DOC Holliday
