Cold (22).  Wind was calm, though picked up a bit as the rocket was prepped (no measurement; the wind meter didn't work).  Took 2x to launch and several seconds to ignite engine.  Good flight.  Landed about 5 yards NE of the launch site.  Onboard camera recorded flight.  Good parachute deploy.  First flight in snow.
