The first time YHC signed up to Q Dawn Patrol, Old Man Winter blasted Raleigh with 2015’s second snowstorm. This was the worst of the two with 8+ inches of heavy snow that took out power overnight. YHC’s 1999 Camry couldn’t make it out of the driveway, so it was a no-go that morning.
YHC then signs up to essentially “makeup” the snowed-out workout. It was mid-March, and that morning witnessed an unseasonably ferocious thunderstorm that hit around 5am. Although the brunt of the storm passed by launch, only a PAX of 4 were willing to face the elements.
This time would be different, right? Not so much. YHC wakes up around 4:45 to a clap of thunder and audible heavy rain. Now this just must be tradition. Fortunately, the storm passed right before launch, and it really didn’t hit Laurel Hills. However, only 4 other PAX hawked the radar and/or flat out didn’t care about the storm. Costco half-joked after YHC mentioned his weather luck, “are you sure it’s the weather?”. Great rhetorical question there, Costco. No FNGs, waiver stated, we’re off.
