I live in Florida, where weather is notoriously changeable and hard to predict. When I go flying with family members who are recreational pilots, plans are always contingent on the weather. Even at that, depending on the time of year, it is astonishing how quickly the sky can go from clear to marginal to nasty.
Bingo!
