Yesterday the first winter storm of the season hit the Upper Midwest. We received just under 5 inches of snow here in the city, but it amounted to an inch of QPF because of all the freezing rain and sleet mixed in. Getting around the city was slow, but still manageable.
In other news, helped with a flight on Thursday afternoon and got in around 1/2 hour of burner time in Rock Rapids Iowa. Went to around 1500 feet agl as a bald eagle flew at tree top height below us. Also, made my first splash and dash in the Rock River. Overall, a very fun flight and afternoon.
Finally, have been asked back to speak at the Wisconsin Balloon Group and the Iowa Balloonist Association Safety Seminars in spring of 2008. Have some really cool ideas for talks, now just gotta find the time to write them!
