 Sat Apr 02, 11 4:42 am Who's going kiting today? Brr.... |
 |

So, I'm gonna come out and say it, "Hi, my name is Ron and I'm a wind snob."
It's too cold for me to go out.
Will I have to wear booties?
If I wait another week the weather will be warmer.
Who's going out today?

There should be plenty of wind today, but the air temps could be 10-15 degrees colder than what we had Wed/Thurs/Fri. Hood River might make it to 50 degrees, but the Eastern sites should reach the mid 50's.
BTW - HR Sandbar is mostly underwater this morning, but launching off the grass at the Event Site is allowed until May 1 .
EASTERN COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE
SAT APR 2 2011
...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT THIS EVENING...
.TODAY...CLOUDY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE MORNING...THEN PARTLY CLOUDY WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON. VERY WINDY. COOLER. HIGHS 53 TO 58. WEST WIND 30 TO 40 MPH. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION 60 PERCENT.

| I am an addict and I am with undertow. Going out to hoodie to pick up some bros and might try to kite there, otherwise we're gonna head east. Should be good westerly wind (30+ mph) from Hoodie on east. Only got a 4/3 with booties so I am hoping somebody (Chooch?!) might let me borrow some shit. Keep your fingers crossed for me Hope to see you crazies out there!
