Dense fog last night. It's thinned a bit but supposed to get foggy again tonight. Clouds might clear out by New Year's, but forecast uncertain still.

Just rain, some showers, mist, drizzle and rain.

The ground is basically sand around here, so no mud at least.

Clouds, rain, snow, clouds, cold. It was clear for an hour or two before sunrise today, which I managed to sleep through because I once again trusted a forecast. :doh:

It's been rather nice here lately, sunny days, clear evenings, lows around 28-34F

Just came in from a quick binocular session :)

Snow is expected to overspread the region tonight.

Maybe there'll be enough to break out the snowshoes. And if I'm really lucky, there'll be enough the next few days to shut down work - next week is a mandatory 5 days in the office week. Unfortunately the cloud cover continues.

Two inches of snow last night with more forecast off and on for the next 5-6 days, possibly turning to rain at times. :roll:

There'll be no observing in yon bloody muck, laddie.

We're still supposed to get at least one heavy snowstorm this week. We'll see. Meanwhile, still cloudy and dreary.

Inside the shed to warm up, currently 4-4.5 / 5 skies.
Wind is currently steady at 27 km/h and the wind chills is -20°C
Some great views of the planets with the 152 mm though :)
