Tuesday Scrubbed

I was looking out the windows at a beautiful day Tuesday morning on March 31st. Just like all day Monday. As 5:00 pm drew nearer, the wind started to pick up and a radar trace of rain activity was moving into the area. I went over to the airport at 5:00 and met with Cameron. The weather briefing had 20 knot winds with 40 knots at 3000 feet (that equals lots of turbulence). The Diamond has a maximum crosswind component of 20 knots, and our wind was pretty much a direct cross wind. The decision was made to cancel the lesson. Now I have to wait until Saturday. Oh well, I knew by that starting in the spring a certain percentage of the lessons would be scrubbed for weather.
