Saturday was a post-frontal weather day - very windy with active turbulence Sigmets. Fortunately, only areas west of Sacramento had high winds at the surface, while most other area airports had only moderate winds. Up above I saw 30mph winds, moderate turbulence and mountain wave with 1000fpm ups and downs downwind of ridges.

I try to open the year with a January 1st flight, but this year I couldn’t make it due to maintenance. Once the airplane returned into service, I took it up for some pattern practice across three local airports. It was a calm hazy day with an inversion. Did three-pointers and wheel touch-and-goes on a warm 20C January day :)
