12 JAN 2009 - 2315 CST If the wind and temperatures forecast for the Chicago area the next 72 hours travel east to include northern Connecticut a day later, both areas will be having a taste of Wyoming winter WX. I'm planning on bringing my usual coat for our January meeting in Connecticut; a down-lined arctic parka and fur-lined gloves. I hope I will get to fly out of Chicago on Wednesday before the second blizzard of this week arrives. - Dick, W9GIG

The folks from WY think the WX in MN is a cake-walk. _____ From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ [mailto:dsumner@arrl.org] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 6:37 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:17460] Cold wx forecast for Board Meeting Good morning, and welcome to Board Meeting Week. The weather forecast for later this week calls for light snow (no more than 4 inches) on Thursday followed by bitter cold: below zero overnight and possibly not out of the single digits during the day on Friday. While this will not faze our Minnesota colleagues, those of you from warmer climes should plan to dress accordingly. Speaking of dress, we will be taking the annual Board photograph after lunch on Friday. Please wear a jacket and tie (or feminine equivalent) for that occasion; otherwise, "business casual" is fine. Dave Sumner, K1ZZ

Well, I already know that it's supposed to snow in Hartford on Thursday (and all over a wide region that includes Cincinnati). I mention Cincinnati because I am supposed to change planes there. I've had very bad experiences getting in and out of BDL when it's snowing, so my confidence level for actually getting there on Thursday is not all that high. -- Andy At 03:47 PM 1/12/2009, G.P.

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are under the influence of a high pressure system inland to our NW that has setup an offshore air flow from the inland deserts -- it always get unseasonably warmer when this occurs. Today's high was 69 with a low of 44 expected overnight. That pattern (although probably with highs of 64 instead of 69) will continue through the weekend. It's going to take a lot of will power to take an all-day flight to the arctic on Thursday. -- Andy Oppel At 05:37 AM 1/12/2009, Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ wrote: >Good morning, and welcome to Board Meeting Week. > >The weather forecast for later this week calls for light snow (no >more than 4 inches) on Thursday followed by bitter cold: below zero >overnight and possibly not out of the single digits during the day >on Friday.

[arrl-odv:17474] K9KM - JAN Board Meeting Attendance
by dick＠pobox.com 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

12 JAN 2009 - 1352 CST I just got off the telephone with Howard Huntington, K9KM. He has both good and bad news. The good news is that his wife, Nancy was released from the hospital early. The expectation was that she would not be coming home until after the ARRL board meeting. However, it appears she is improving faster than was originally anticipated. The bad news is that Howard is her principal care-giver and he will be required to stay close to home for a few more weeks. Therefore, he will not be attending the January 2008 board meeting. Please keep Howard and Nancy in your thoughts and prayers as they both work to return to a more normal retired life style. FYI, he now finally has email access at home. Anything posted here, to any other ARRL reflector he is subscribed to, or to k9km(a)arrl.org, should show up in his computer at home. His home email address is: howard_huntington_k9km(a)ymail.com - Dick Isely, W9GIG
