Long Solo XC A "No Go"

It looks like a “no-go” for weather. It is nasty out right now at 1100Z and the forecast for my 1330 departure does not look much better. DOV reports showers as I cross the area and by arrival at SBY I should be clear of the rain but it looks like some gusting winds. With the AIRMET Turb and Ice it just does not look like a fun day to enjoy my cross country solo. I also will be crossing the Delaware Bay, and although only 12 miles at the narrowest point I don't think it would be to much fun with crappy visibility. I will reschedule today after I get another look at the weather forecast.
