That picture pretty much sums up what has to be the worst and soggiest Spring I've ever seen. I've only lived here for 5 years so I can't really speak to what Spring normally looks like around here -except for my recent experience. However, old-timers say it's nothing like this. Spring usually arrives with clear skies, moderate temps and the promise of outstanding soaring - day after day. We do get the rains, but they come and then they go. They don't hang on for a week at a time!
It's getting downright disheartening to look at the weather forecast these days. Right now, the last good, flyable day we had was the middle of last week. Naturally, I was on a business trip and couldn't be here for it. I tried to check in on the webcam but it was mysteriously down for two days then fixed itself before I could head out to the Hill to see what was the matter.
Outlook for the weekend is similar to this week - cloudy, rainy. We've got a regional contest coming up in June and I'm wondering if the weather is going to cooperate! Here's hoping the weather breaks - SOON.
