We had fog this morning, but that wasn't our problem; instead, it was the low ceilings to the west of us for hundreds of miles. Typical reports were 1,500' broken clouds ( = mostly clouds with a few openings in them), 3000' scattered clouds, and 4000' overcast (heights are above ground level). As we waited for the day to warm and clear off some of the clouds, the winds increased as the cold front coming towards us from Texas brought higher winds with gusts over 35 mph in some places.
We fussed over the weather for hours, but finally gave up about 2 PM. Later, the winds backed off, suggesting it might have been worth continuing, but that was too late. So, one more night in Midway, FL, where the motel is, with the plane in a hangar at the Quincy airport, about 10 miles away. Tomorrow, we start over again, and hope the storm has tracked more northeasterly, so the weather here improves.
