Well once again my 9.00 am flight lesson was cancelled due to poor weather conditions. Jeremy called me this morning on 03/24/2012 at 8.26 am and said that he had seen the weather and it was foggy with low cloud ceiling. Of course I knew this as I had already checked the weather soon after I awoke at 2.45 am to go to the gym. I’m assuming the weather is going to be the same tomorrow also and the class will be cancelled again. Here’s today’s weather though:

From the above information it can be seen that the weather conditions are a considerably worse than they were yesterday; clearly well below the minimum VFR requirements. Today, there’s also low visibility along with low cloud ceiling and fog. Let’s see what happens tomorrow, even though I’m expecting the same, but there’s always hope.
