I can fly in such conditions, the wind is only 10° off the runway's centerline. But flying around in windy conditions is not my idea of fun. It's one thing if I am going somewhere. It's another thing if it's a flight just for fun.

A Day Later
METAR KFAM 131615Z AUTO 31010G15KT 5SM OVC008 M04/M06 A3011
Ice pellets are falling from the sky as I type this.
It started raining yesterday a little after noon. When the rain finished up after midnight, over 2" had fallen. This area is still classified as being in a "moderate drought", so I don't know of anyone who was complaining too hard about the downpour.

Timing is Everything
KFAM 121435Z AUTO 20004KT 10SM CLR 11/09 A2996
That was the weather when I went flying this morning. The forecast was for it to turn, well, shitty. The METAR might have said that it was only 11°C, or about 52°F, but it felt warmer than that. It was good flying, got in a little over an hour of time and shot three landings. "CLR" means "clear below 12,000", the skies were scattered to broken up high at altitudes that are unreachable with my airplane.
Current weather: FAM 121955Z AUTO 02007KT 4SM FEW010 SCT014 BKN019 13/11 A2988, and it is raining pretty hard.

Ancient Aviation History
METAR KGON 012256Z 33007KT 10SM CLR M01/M09 A2988
One of the oldest aviation groups online is Avsig. It started out as part of Compuserve, back in the days of acoustic 300 baud modems. After many tribulations, Avsig is still around. And until the 3rd, you can easily join.
I've been a member of the group, off and on, for 25 years, which is a few geologic eons in the online world. It's still a good place to be.
