Midland Ski Flyin - Feb 8th

[Wayne G. O'Shea]

Morning everyone!

Based on the below information, as well as the fact that the wind is already
blowing as high as 31Kmph in Muskoka in light snow (7am winds at CYZZ = 41K,
London = 26K and Kingston = 37K etc so it's all around and probably only
going to get worse as the day goes on) I think we should postpone to see
what tomorrow brings (which looks about the same or worse that today!). The
clouds are going by at one heck of a pace here in Penetang and the wind
gusts make the house feel & sound like a Freightliner hit it! Winds like
this right here on the edge of Georgian Bay could blow up a blizzard
instantly, so better to be safe and warm, versus cold and miserable with our
airplanes at the mercy of mother nature on the lake! May end up being next
weekend instead, but we will try again for tomorrow in case this front goes
through quicker than expected.

Cheers,
Wayne O'Shea
