Weather Becoming a Focus

As you can see from the news out of Santa Update today the weather is becoming more and more of a focus. I know it may seem boring and tedious to some of you but we really need some regular weather updates from every area. Here’s the link to the weather report.

The frequency of weather reports, due more to Operation Air Lift than Santa’s flight right now, should be about three days or whenever there is a shift in your local forecast.

If you listened to Elves Frank and Crash today you can tell they are concerned. The concern is 10x at Flight Command and next week is going to be super busy in the skies, if they can get the sleighs off the ground.

To me, after years of experience doing this, I sense they are going to need more from us than normal.

You can expect calls for landing zone reports, transit reports and air traffic reports. It’s coming I can feel it.

For those elves who are new and have not done it, please get your roof reports and chimney reports in first thing.

It’s crunch time, elves.

About this Elf: Elf Pinky

Elf Pinky was recruited from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1992 and has since served as an instructor in sleigh flight theory at the North Pole Institute of Aviation. She worked very hard to earn her elf credentials, working a second shift first as a tool repair technician in Santa’s workshop and then as an engineer in the Wrapping Department designing wrapping machines. Pinky in recent years was a recruiter and trainer of sleigh test pilots and flies under the call sign Barracuda. Last year she served as a Flight Operations Director and demonstrated outstanding judgment and maturity in her duties supervising more than 400 elves, pilots, reindeer handlers and sleigh freighters.
