"VFR not recommended" would make a whole hell of a lot more sence than telling the whole friggen world about 1/4 inch snow drifts!! Unsolisited bad weather reports would almost make sence....how many aircraft have been lost pushing wx vs. the dreaded quarter inch snow drift??

Speaking of a waste of time how about the requirement of ATC to remind you to make your mandatory calls at airports with a MF. It states in CARs the pilot has to do it but for some reason we have to remind them. We actually had a guy pulled recently for this.

I see your point especially if the airport normally handles nothing larger than a King Air on a 8000 foot runway

To add some more to the conversation, I know here in YQM many times pilots ask the Tower for a more current RSC than in the ATIS many times. Sometimes even when there's not really any precip. Normally is RJ pilots however.

How about after a passing torrential downpour where the runways are literally a pool of water, temporarily halting all traffic? This is just dry humor to summer RSC which has happened at our airport.
