How do you cope with all that sun shine?

This winter has been slightly crappier than average so far here in West Michigan. I went to the airport yesterday to get some tools for some repairs I am doing on the baffles of my 7 and spent about an hour digging a path into the service door of the hangar. I went back out there this morning to pick up a support angle I forgot and this is what I found!

The front of my hangar, drifted in again!


Looking towards the runway from my hangar door,


Mid field taxi, look out low wings!


At least the fuel pumps are kinda open.


These guys have a lot of digging to do if they want to go flying.


We did see some sun for a few minutes yesterday, couldn't find my sunglasses so had to hide indoors

Just one more reason I live in Texas!

This is awful Paul. I'm over here at KOZW in Howell. They do a great job with snow removal but there is always the foot or so in front of the door and drifting to deal with. Lately it seems every couple days I have to drive to the hanger in my plow truck to clean up the hanger area in hopes of being ready for a flyable day. Snow yesterday and more coming tomorrow. I'm never going to get my Phase 1 done at this rate.

Looks like our airport/hangar about six months of every year.

Helpful hint - get mechanized in your snow removal!

Hey David,

Would love to see your 10! If we ever get decent weather, I'll come over with the 7. Perhaps we can do some aerial photos of yours!

Don't they rent U-hauls in the east?

...or are they all out here now?

Living like that would just kill me. My wife and I both consider it "cold" if the temps dip into the mid 60's.

Toobuilder,

Are you suggesting we pack up all the U-Hauls with snow and ship it to you

ship to mel in texas they need the water!
