CFI-A Lesson 2 (continued, again)

Well, I must say that I'm dumbfounded by my poor luck with the weather. It's not something new; I was forced to cancel nearly half of my first dozen Commercial lessons last June, but that was in Seattle. I'm in Florida now - weather should NOT be an issue!

But it is. Here's the actual weather conditions from this morning at the time I was supposed to fly:

KVRB 121442Z 01008KT 8SM OVC011 19/18 A3014 RMK AO2
KVRB 121353Z 31005KT 5SM BR BKN004 OVC009 17/17 A3013 RMK AO2 CIG 003V006 SLP201 T01720167
KVRB 121347Z 32005KT 5SM BR BKN004 OVC009 17/17 A3013 RMK AO2 CIG 003V006
KVRB 121308Z 33005KT 8SM BKN006 BKN060 17/16 A3011 RMK AO2

Translated:

8:08AM Winds from NNW at 5 knots, 8 miles visibility, broken clouds at 600 feet.

8:47AM Winds from NNW at 5 knots, 5 miles visibility, mist, broken clouds at 400 feet, overcast at 900 feet.

8:53AM Winds from NW at 5 knots, 5 miles visibility, mist, broken clouds at 400 feet, overcast at 900 feet.

9:42AM Winds from NNE at 8 knots, 8 miles visibility, overcast at 1,100 feet.

The low clouds were the primary cause of the cancellation today. We were scheduled to fly a plane with minimum instrumentation and radios, which would make it very difficult to get back into the airport if the weather changed for the worse. Besides, I have a personal rule that says, "Don't take off from an airport unless you can turn around and land at the same airport if something goes wrong."

Sometimes I get philisophical about my flying destiny. If you believe that things happen for a reason, you can't help but wonder if someone is trying to send me a message. But I'm not ready to give it up just yet. I'm anxious to see how the weather turns out tomorrow afternoon.
