Been this way for over a week now. Rolls in @ night and burns off in the a.m. Nice during the day for fishing though.

Are you there? What did you expect in the Arctic in March, that same warning could be issued pretty much any time of the year around there.

Not there ..... just a reply to the post that compared the weather in the North to the current wx in YYC. As I said, it depends where you are in the North.

Missed in Springbank this morning. 1/2 mile and 700 feet. I'm betting that I was the first ever missed approach into springbank (they only got an instrument approach a couple weeks ago) As soon as we got on the Loc for YYC 34 what a difference. they were calling +6 miles and like 3000 scattered. Looking west, just about at C.O.P. it was a wall of cloud/fog.
