On a getaway in Palm Desert – and we want to get away from this weather! NW winds howling 20-30 w/ gusts to 40, blowing sand and dust reducing vsb and closing some roads. Temp a “balmy” 66 (was 99 earlier this week.). It’s not healthy to be outside today. This all thanks to the system over NV which we encounter tomorrow leaving this place flying to ORD to try and make a connection. Expecting a very bumpy ride that last hour of the flight on approach to ORD.
