Fellow Soaring Pilots ,

On Monday I managed a respectable flight of around 280 mi o/r up
towards Chicago . No real problems except that as I approached NW
Indiana the lake effect became noticeable and cloud bases lowered so I
turned for home . I told Mike Nichols about the flight and later that
day he found a website to check out the cloud cover that afternoon .
Amazing how you can see the lake effect in N Indiana and W Michigan .
Heads up - Beware of the NW wind near the lake - like you didn't know
about it !

Ron (ZA).

Ron,
Check out this image from 4:40 pm on Monday the 23d. The lake effect
was way south by then.
