Snow in Seattle

My plans to visit family in Albuquerque were set back today when my flight was canceled this morning. My roommate, who had gotten up at 5:00 am to take me to the airport, had just made it home (about a half hour drive) when I found out that I wouldn't be flying out anytime soon. On our way back, we stopped at Boeing Field to get a few rare shots of real winter weather in Seattle. It was a beautiful morning. If there hadn't been ice covering N738VJ, I probably would have gone up for a little while.

The red plane in the pictures below is N3312J, another planed owned by Alternate Air. It's a Cessna 150, a two-seat plane that's similar to the plane I fly. It's a bit cheaper to rent, but it's a small plane and I'm a big guy. I've tried sitting in it once, but the yoke rests on my knees. While I can pull back and push forward just fine, my knees prevent me from being able to turn enough to safely fly it, which is why I stick to flying the bigger Cessna 172.
