Here's to a Merry Christmas to everyone out there in WIX land and to your families. Have a safe one and remember, a designated driver is a safe bet. In other words be safe everyone. We want to see all of you at TOM, Oshkosh, the Doolittle reunion, etc., etc.

Thanks for that, Pat. Current forecast here is for 16 inches of the white stuff over the next 72 hours, so unless the designated driver is drivin' a Huey, Ma & Pa & all the little K's will be sittin' this one out.

A blessed Christmas to all WIXers!

Sounds like you are in for a good storm Dan. Here, the last I heard we are expecting a real mix of weather: snow, sleet, freezing rain and just rain not necessarily in that order.

A couple pics from what I've had to deal with on the weather front this past weekend at work.
The snow started on Friday and stoped Sunday night. Had no power all weekend.
Merry X-MAS everyone.

Getting ready to move planes inside the hanger. Asheville NC Airport.

My first time taxiing in the snow.

High tech deicing.

To much deicing?

And what it looked like outside my house the next morning.

Eric, you have some very nice scenery outside your house. It's almost as nice as what I see across the street from my house, a high school!

Pat, sorry for your veiw.

Ya, it's rough living a mile or so off the Blueridge Parkway. But someone has to do it.
