Baby, it's cold outside!

Morning frost on X-ray Alpha
I have a flight lesson scheduled for 10am this morning, and it is currently 30 degrees outside. Doc and I walked down by the airfield this morning around 8am, just after the sun was coming up to scope out how frosty the planes are. They're pretty frosty. I dropped into the pilots lounge and chatted with the operations manager about my flight this morning, and he suggested we go out and turn the plane I reserved so in was pointing into the rising sun. There are no clouds this morning, so hopefully a little solar radiation will defrost the plane in time. My instructor has a flexible schedule today and we will push back the lesson time if need be.
