You’re absolutely right about not flying in Michigan because of ice right now. Maybe that’s why I was flying around key west for the weekend ☀️ and with proper planing you can fly in any state at any time of year. You just have to be smart about it and make sure you do all your weather planning and don’t be stupid. You can spend time on the ground while a storm passes, and keep it VFR in the cold. As Jason Blair once told me “popsicles don’t fly”. I have no intent on turning in to a popsicle.
