Brian, from my perspective at the other end of the HP spectrum, I am cheering 
well, not really, warm and rain is fine, but cold and snow or rain will suck. Glad I have a tow vehicle.

All I know is that the idea of going through a licensing school with a bunch of other rookies, IN THE RAIN, isn't my idea of a good time.
Plus, I don't have rain tires.

I am not bringing you down, I am getting you mentally prepared 
!
I have done 2 track days @ VIR in early December and each was threatened by snow. The track was icy early but that had melted off by 9:30 or so and we got in most of our driving.
What is hard to take is the infamous VIR paddock sand/grit combined with rain. Keep a pair of "paddock-only" shoes handy or you will be vacuming grit out of your car for the next 2 years.

Well, quick update - Me, Sleder, and TD in DC passed the licensing school yesterday.
And today, it is snowing like crazy. I went out, couldn't even see, so came back in - made 1 lap!
My windows were so fogged up I couldn't see a thing.

Congrats on passing the schools guys! Friday 72F, not a cloud in the sky. Saturday - snowing like crazy. Hopefully Sunday will pay you back with cool dry weather.
