weather, or not

Weather changes rapidly here.
We walked into breakfast and walked out to the shuttle. On the way in, the weather was fine, calm and clear. On the way out, it had begun snowing smaller, dryer flakes.
Whether or not we hang test and launch depends on the weather being fine, so no hang test yet today. Of course, that may change again soon enough, but for the moment, I must admit to a sense of relief, not so much that we're delayed, but that I won't be asked to leave after only being here 2 weeks. There's still so much to do and experience!

So what happen if the weather change during the launch?

We wait for it to get worse and quit or get better and go!
We're doing that for ATIC right now... ready at 10p, but the weather was right at 8p. Conditions seem to be improving slightly and the next window isn't likely until the end of the week, so we're still holding out!
