Snowstorm Flying

Featured Replies

Just a bit of flying in the recent snowstorm that hit the Northeast. The last of it hit Boston in the afternoon, and I tried flying in it.

On approach. Can't really see anything. Trying to figure out where the runway is.

I live in NY and we got 22" of Snow in our little town on the Hudson. Awesome storm and a great time for flying. It really tested my landing skills.

Great snow and visibility effects! Even though it had been snowing heavily here in Central New York, I decided to fly from LOWW to LSZH. Fortunately, it was equally snowy in Zurich. . . .

Terrific snow effects! Where, why, how? Mine always look elongated, not like snowflakes at all!

 

Nice landing btw.

That was Boston, I flew there because I hadn't gotten a chance to fly in the snowstorm, and that's default real world weather.

 

We were hit with a foot of snow in my area. It didn't help that my snow blower crapped out, so I ended up clearing half the driveway with an MDX.

Thankfully, the Gods spared the mid-atlantic ("Snowmadgedden" still fresh in our minds from a few years ago), but the winds... Holy lifted skirts Batman! 40 sustained, gusting to 60 mph. Gave it a shot in the "17 kt cross wind limited" JetProp (Modified to current Meridian specs)", and scared the bajesus out'a my family in the back rows.
