Land of the Polar Bear

I've packed clothes and documents that I might need over the next week, and of course probably forgotten to pack a number of vital items that will be impossible to obtain in Yellowknife. I'm excited, but realistic: this is probably just going to be an interesting vacation. Everyone in Yellowknife is a pilot looking for a job. I'll just be the newest one in town.

I've been watching the CYZF weather the last few weeks and it has been quite mild. around freezing most of the time. Here's weather from the middle of Saturday night.

For the non-pilots who stumbled upon this blog searching for tachyon inverters (I'm the top hit) and Yellowknife whiskey, the above means that the temperature was hovering around the freezing mark, it's been snowing lightly from an overcast sky with light winds, and the snow is predicted to become intermittant overnight and stop in the morning. And you don't care about the rest.

I expect I'll be able to post at least a couple of times in the next week, but don't worry about me if I don't. I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
