January 31, 2010 - Essex Skypark snowed under

I was supposed to do some formation practice this morning with Dragon Flight.  The weather was good.  But it had snowed about five inches earlier in the week.   I had figured the runway and main taxiway would be plowed and I could shovel the side taxiway.   But when I arrived at the skypark, however, everything was covered with snow.  No flying today. 

This is the side taxiway in front of my hangar.

And looking down the runway.  I think Bruce could have made it in his Cub with large tires, but not my RV with its little 5" tires.   

Little did I know that the runway wouldn't be clear of snow and I wouldn't be flying for almost another month.
