Went out for lunch and looked up. Thought it looked nice so I checked Dr. Jack. NAM says 5-600 fpm to 8,000'.
Maybe we should start a week earlier next year.

Sounds like you need a motorglider.
Of course if we do that it'll snow till mid May... :-)
It's all about the insurance.
We should find more flexibility in the insurance.
Or just write the policy for an earlier start next year. The Winter layup doesn't get you a huge discount in the first place.
If the weather is like this next year I would push for an earlier start even if we had to pay something (like $50-$100?) to change the insurance start date. We would make it up on additional tow fees for the early season flights. I personally would like to start flying as soon as the field is dry enough for operations.

I think it is only a 50.00 fee to start earlier. if we didn't have snow we could fly year round.
