February Doldrums

[a97virago 0]

As I look out across the 140" of snow we've gotten here in NY, my thoughts turn, naturally, to skydiving!

The season can't start soon enough! Yes, I truely envy those of you who live in warmer climates and who have been having fun jumping while I have been building ever larger snowbanks on the sides of my driveway.

To make matters worse, at the end of the season last year, I got my first (yes, the beer was already bought) rig and A-licence, but was only able to get a few jumps in before the artic cold settled in for it's annual sojourn.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to survive the winter, when all your thoughts are on being airborne, seeing the world as only the eagles see it, and playing in the largest playground on earth?

When I get bummed out during the winter, I usually go jump...but then again, I'm in TX, so I can do that.

I live in southern Tennessee and it's bad enough, I can't imagine the cold of NY. Relocate.

Never go to a DZ strip show.

You can't know how tempted I am to relocate. Just looking for the place with the coolest skydivers, the coldest beer, the warmest sun, and the sexiest women!

That's not asking too much, is it?

I usually take 2 weeks off after Christmas and go somewhere warm to jump.
At least gets me a mid-winter bump.

I'll be jumping again tomorrow.

Book a flight to Fla. for about $200. Charge the whole trip if ya have to. pay for it later. The American way.

I know how ya feel. Luckily I got to jump in florida last month. I just found out I'll probably be going on a business trip to orlando around the end of this month. Doubt I'll have a chance to get a jump in though, and I'm sure the tunnel is booked solid. But right now, any warm weather sounds great, jumping or not.
