While everybody is one the subject of clouds. I thought that I would add
my own little bit.

I made a student jump about a year ago in central Oregon (Sheridan) during the
summer and we had a few clouds in the sky above the drop zone. Since I was
still learning I popped the chute at about 5,000' and there were a few
clouds below me. Since they were scattered I could see the zone well, and
I could see around me clearly. I was able to pilot the chute through the
cloud, and it was a very different experience, one which I will try to
repeat. The absolute stillness and quiet was very different. For a few
seconds it seemed that I was going nowhere regardless of what my body was
telling me. It was facinating, although I have not punched through any
clouds in free-fall or in a chute since. It was a jump worth remembering.

IMHO, anyone who jumps when they can't see the ground for what ever reason
is just plain dumb. As someone else had already said: No jump is worth
dying over. Play by the rules and live to jump.
