Winds on top 18 gusting to 26. Set up, hooked into the glider noticed an ominous looking sky that had developed.
Watched it for a few, looked like it was getting worse and coming towards us. Decided against launching, (better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air) Major graupel event dumped.
After wiping ice and water off the gliders a hole opened up out front.
Took the chance for a quick flight. (Rick shortly after)
2.5 hrs later, climbs to 7400' landed back on top with winds in the 25-30 range. It was still flyable but nature called.
