Snowing like crazy today up here in Osceola County, Lynn. I did some x-c skiing yesterday and there was a base of 6-8". With today's snow, I think your skis would put you down most anywhere.

My EIS yesterday showed 61 F for the "unit" temp. I think that is
close to what the cabin temp is, at least behind the panel. I was
wearing a bulky down coat at first, but changed it for a simple vest-
type coat later on...more for the ability to move rather than
anything else. Besides, the sun was out and that got the cabin temp
up a bit. I'll take a thermometer along today and see what it is at
foot level and at other levels within the cabin. I've got to call FSS
and see if they know of any snow levels around lower Lower Michigan.
Richard Rabbers reported pretty much no-snow around Benton Harbor
area, and suggested heading north. I would think that lake effects
snow should be somewhere along Lake Michigan.

Lynn,
Went out for flight a while ago this AM .
OAT -13 C (9F )
Cabin temp flying 10 to 12 C ( 50 to 54 F )
So basically Heating give me approx a boost in cabin temps about
40 to 45F increase on a overcast day and not bone chilling but
still well below freezing.
Still on Monster tires in up to 8 inch snow. < snicker>

If i seal up a few more air leaks, surely I would add a few more
degrees to the cabin.

Oh and climb today with 220 lbs of me and 13gals gas was 1300 FPM
at worst in a 582 . Smile
Cruise speed at 500 agl seems to be about 86 -87 area at 6000 RPM
WOT i showed 101 MPH average.
Dave

I was going to ask you about that possibility, Marco, but I wouldn't
have got an answer back in time to go anyplace today. I called
Lansing FSS, and they advised against going anywhere today, as snow
was coming in. Right now it's just a sleet-like snow coming down,
with VERY slow accumulation. Got any possible good strips up around
you that are turf, marked well, and not all criss-crossed with
snowmobiles?
