Hi guys,
 
Well, the 10 day forecast for Nut tree, Vacaville, VCB isn't looking real  
good especially for me coming over the Sierras.  Right now the forecast  shows

me flying the L-29 IMC over mountainous terrain in snow and ice next  Friday. 

I don't mind flying the L-29 IMC, but not sure how well this  thing does 
packing a load of mixed rime ice. (Pitot heat and windshield  bleed air.... Where's

the wing heat?)  Guess I can always climb out over  Reno in the clear and 
pick up a IFR clearance and go to 24K well above the  freeze level and get over

the mountains in IMC.  Probably be faster to  drive..... 
Gonna have to keep an eye on the weather.  We've been getting blasted  every 
other day by one low pressure system/trough after another.
