The advice I've gotten for starting out flight training has been to try out several schools and instructors at the start. The rapport between instructor and student has a large impact on how training progresses, and I'd have to be lucky to find my perfect match on the first try. At the very least, shopping around a bit will give me a sense of which elements of instruction are common among instructors and which are elements of their own teaching style.

I had a lesson scheduled at Central Jersey Regional (47N) for Monday this week, but it was moved to Tuesday evening, only to be canceled due to storms in the vicinity, moved to today, and it looks like it'll get canceled again today due to the same warm front slowly and sloppily making its way through. I also had a lesson at Solberg-Hunterdon (N51) scheduled for this morning, but that too has been canceled due to weather. That's four con­sec­utive lessons rescheduled. It's certainly good conditioning for weather-based cancellations, but is none­the­less discouraging.

I also don't mind the storms too much if it means moving this disgusting humid air away. When the relative humidity hovers above 95%, storms are quite welcome.
