Weather Option: Cicada's

[CowBoyGuy]

Russ,
    Here in Maryland we are about to enter the 17 Year Cicada onslaught. Every 17 years these red-eyed bugs emerge from the ground for 6 weeks to fly around, mate and die... and get in the way of things like air flow over the wing. They are about the size of a cockroach.
    So, someone from my flight group was looking for cicada carcasses in the weather pattern to make it "as real as it gets"...

hehehe  

Yep, I'm definitely familiar with cicadas, we have them here in Oz, and I remember them from when I was a kid in Houston.  Obnoxious little suckers.  I didn't realize they were a problem for planes tho.

Hmm...  no precipitation, light winds from the south, visibility 3 feet, and cumulous clouds of cicadas from zero to 500 feet.  I'll get to work on that right away
