KFAM 242035Z AUTO 19020G27KT 10SM CLR M01/M21 A3016
The amazing thing is that the wind is from 190. This winter, it's been common for it to be 26020G30KT. I flew last weekend because the temps got up over 50degF and, at least last Sunday, the wind was right down the runway. Strong winds with a large crosswind component are not fun in a taildragger on pavement.
And even if the winds are blowing closer to the centerline, when they are blowing, the updrafts and downdrafts are sort of kicking the crap out of both me and the airplane. Neither one of us are young anymore.
Cold this morning, too: KFAM 241335Z AUTO 16006KT 10SM CLR M17/M20 A3053
Maybe I should have just moved to Minnesoter...
