Re: Weather
Could have been worse - could have been a half-eaten cheeseburger. :wink:
45* F this morning, but going up to low 70s so I didn't bother with a jacket. Typical autumn day for here. Usually the garbage fall weather gets here just in time for Halloween.

If the Norwegians are correct, I might be able to test the new fiber pod tonight for a bit:

Re: Weather
Rain all day yesterday for 0.7"
Mild today but with a 40 m/s jet stream tonight does not look promising.

Been a bit of a mixed day here - high winds though and cloud all night until 4/5am by the looks of it. Next real opportunity looks to be all Monday night so keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: Weather
We had a little rain over the weekend, unusual, and a bit of cooling, but temps today were low 80s, going up to 90° Wednesday, then cooling to low 70s by the weekend, continuing into next week. Overnight temps in the 50s. Mix of Sun and clouds.

There were reports of snow flurries in the area yesterday, but I didn't see any. Cloudy and cold today, but a warm-up is forecast for the rest of the week. Maybe some clearing too.

Re: Weather
Rain has moved out and I see mainly blue sky this morning. Forecast is clear tonight, but 99% cloud cover by 2300. Should probably plan to jump on the opportunity to observe while it's here tonight.
Sidenote: I've found the Norwegian "YR" forecast to be pretty accurate for my area.
