Freezing Rain

Well, I lost some flying (and pay) by not being able to get out of Providence on time this morning. So, if you passangers ever wonder if we hate delays, double yes cause they can cost us our paycheck. That being said it was just really bad weather.

If you ever wondered what is probably the worst type of weather to fly in, well its freezing rain. I mean aside from a hurricane, tornado, blizzard, or a thunderstorm right over an airport. (as you couldn't fly in these) Freezing rain is pretty bad. It can prevent you from flying if bad enough. Its liquid rain, and as it hits the cold metal of the airplane, it almost instantly turns to ice. Ice is very bad.

So, if you wake up in the morning to go to the airport and the roads are all iced up and there is freezing rain out. Bring your patience cap and be kind to the flight crew as they could very well be losing money due to the weather.
