Title: Wed. May 21- training night starting at 5:00 pm- rain or shine

Our intrepid CFI, Frank v B, asked me to post on his behalf, that despite the terrible forecast he will be at the field today starting about 5:00pm.
With a 90% pop, and winds of 29kph/44kph, I suspect he will take the opportunity to have a quick snooze in the car.

Unless there is a complete reversal of the forecast, I think I will pass on tonite.
Wet Windy and 10 degrees - not worth the drive in rush hour

Yes, I was there* at 4:58.  Yes, I took a snooze.  No, it did not stop raining.  The POP was 100%.  The 90% in the forecast was optimistic.

The photo is of an angry sky taken at 6:15.

* I run my own business, live near Yonge and Eglinton and always set up appointments in the north end on Wednesdays.  I had one at Leslie south of 7 before training and Elgin Mills and Yonge after training.  Sometimes Mother Nature wins.  Worth the risk.
