Then on March 6th, Bob Noble, with participation of those present, took us through the many considerations needed to keep an eye on the weather - from checking forecasts and the sky, to checking equipment, to planning to stay away from storms, as well as the importance of sharing information with all aboard, and sources of weather information. Bob’s presentation is posted on the CSS page of the RCYC website.
