Craig's Final Post 11/7

And the final day of good weather for liquid wind rides this season (unless you go South).

Today, look for Grantsville AM 5.5 and expect that to last till Noon with the time change.
Don't forget your blubber because, baby, it's cold out there. DC will be up early around Noon,
and should provide 7.5/12M rides for most of the afternoon. Air temps might hit 60 degrees
up there. Willard also looking like 6/12 most of the day, but probably best around Noon.

Tomorrow, the front moves through early. DC might have some wild wind around 11 AM
with gust and lulls making any sail or kite the right or wrong size on a second by second basis,
and it will be cold in the low 40s with rain. PM the wind turns North at UL around 2 PM for
14M wind at Lincoln and ULSSB, but with rain, and mid 40s air temps, you'll be running a
serious risk.

Monday, no wind, cold and rainy, and Tuesday and Weds rainy/snowy and cold cold cold.

It's been an "interesting" season for forecasting this year, and I'm sure there were plenty
of times when a coin flip would have served just as well as the forecast, but hopefully there
has been some entertainment value in it and maybe a few less gallons of gas used, think of
it as an effort to improve your carbon foot print.

The Snow Kite season will soon be upon us, so look for more from Kenny, thanks for all the support, and enjoy your Winter season. I'm going to enjoy it by heading for Maui :*). It's been a pleasure, see you in the Spring.

Craig,

You've certainly made my day more than a few times. I commented just yesterday that anyone who says they have Deer Creek figured out is a liar. Incredibly difficult forecasting here for sure, but your odds are far better than most. Thanks for the forecasting!

Thanks for the most excellent forecasts this year, Craig. You rock!! It's a LOT easier to find wind in Utah with your forecast. I wish you many years of good wind, and cold beers when you get off the water. Have fun in Maui!

My Thanks for the forecasts as well Craig. You've saved me several times from sitting on the beach with no wind!

Now if only we could eliminate all skunk days. :)

Thanks again Craig for another year of excellent forecasts. you've not only been my go-to guy for wind predictions but also to check up on general weather as your forecasts are more accurate than the meteorologists on the local news stations. It's been a great year thanks to you!

Craig,

Many thanks for your forecasts this year! For me your DC forecasts where spot on. In fact, I could almost, and probably should have, rigged based on your numbers.

Craig,

I appreciate your dedication. You have saved us countless hours of sitting around waiting for wind. I know how difficult it can be to get the forecast right and you never cease to amaze me. Have fun in Maui!
