Frack - Not Flying Tomorrow

Know how I mentioned the weather doesn't look favorable for tomorrow?

Well, forecast is for winds gusting 30-40 kts, and that's the "good" part (just so you know 30-40 knots in a small aircraft is bad m'kay?).  But wait, there's more:

Marginal VFR and IFR Conditions;

Airmet Tango for moderate turbulence;

 

Airmet Zulu for icing;

 

Wind shear; and

 

Likely snow showers.

 

My assessment: Not a good day for a checkride, nor particularly even legal for me to fly down to do it.

Called a briefer to confirm what I was seeing and he said the magic words: "VFR not recommended." We chatted and both agreed tomorrow is not a good day for a checkride.

Called my instructor - assessment is the same.

Called Examiner - He appreciated my thoroughness and agreed that it would be a bad day to do a checkride tomorrow.

He was in the middle of some stuff, so we will be talking to examiner tonight about rescheduling.
