The Vintage Weather Thread
Got almost four inches of rain at Reagan National the last 48 hours. Over five at Dulles. Doesn't rival the two feet (!!!) in Pensacola, FL, but it set records here. Finally clearing up just in time for Spring Fling.
Long sleeves and jeans will be in order, but that's OK. It's not like I've been wearing shorts and T shirts and summer clothing around here, unlike others.....

It's been about 90 +/- here with high, dry winds for three days, as it will be today. I'm glad to be going to much cooler Harrisburg, this afternoon.

I tend to always be cold on airplanes so I dress in layers. I almost always wear sneakers and I always wear comfortable, moderately rugged pants. I tend to think worst case scenario. What if something goes wrong and I need to be as prepared as I reasonably can be for it? So absolute worst case -- crash -- I want to be in long sleeves, long pants, and sneakers. If the plane is delayed sitting on the tarmac, I want to be able to take off my sweatshirt or jacket easily. It can also be rolled up and stuck behind the small of my back if I'm uncomfortable (of course, I sometimes do that with my purse too -- makes for great lumbar support in a pinch). And if I somehow miss my connection or the flight is diverted or whatever, I am dressed ready for just about anything. And if my luggage gets lost, I'm also okay until I can buy whatever I need or my luggage turns up.
