No new posts since October 18th - a new weathervane!

The first snow flakes appear in the skies of the Great White North and herald the arrival of winter weather and increasing time spent on these websites.

 

Conversly, the absence of new postings from sub-equatorial aviators heralds the arrival of superb flying weather and more hours spent in the cockpit in the DownUnder and the African Continent .

 

Do "southern" pilots spend as much time on these aviation sites during their off-season as their "northern" cousins?

 

Do "southern" pilots have an "off-season"?

 

Can you tell how restless a Bluenose Canuck can get when the plane is grounded and there's no new posts in three weeks?

No, we can fly all year; we just have a money season which slows us down.

Australia is pretty mild year round compared to the Northern Hemisphere.

 

The actual State advertising slogan for Queensland for many, many years has been "Ahh Queensland, Beautiful one day, Perfect the next".

And a very great shame the border isn't 100 miles further south too! We share the weather but it would be very nice to share their timezone too.

I suppose it's because Australia, on the whole, is a dry place. Where I live (in the south) we only get about 20 inches of rain per annum so that leaves quite a lot of sunny days, even in the winter. As for snow...mostly it only happens in the mountains. Frost on the wings is the worst we have to deal with.
