“SOCKED IN” – I took my photos at 8:20 a.m., this morning. I could see everything directly around our home but that was about it. The thought came to my mind….we’re socked in this morning. Then I got to thinking about socked in and why did they call it that. It didn’t make too much sense to me so I got on the internet to find out. According to the internet, the term was first recorded in 1944……… starting back in the early days of aviation when one would look at the windsock to determine the flying conditions. If you couldn’t see across the field to check the windsock, then you had no business taking off. So, there you have it – SOCKED IN!
