Frosty Flying

[Capillatus]

It's still over half a meter of snow on my farm field and the weather forecasts predict even more snow and cold weather the coming weeks. So while I'm waiting for spring, here's a short video of a flight in my TST from January when we had very little snow

Pretty cool video but don't think my skinny bones could handle that cool air.

The temperature is not a problem as long as you dress properly

 

But when I filmed this we had a temperature of -9°C on the ground and +3°C at 1000ft and this usually causes some icing on the wings during descent through the warmer and more humid air into the colder air. This is usually not a problem, but we have had a few icing accidents here in northern Sweden due to inversions during the winter.
