Inclement Weather

I just had to share my frustration with weather on the east coast. After a severe drought here in Virginia its been great to have some steady rain; we desperately need it. But it would be nice to see some stars. It really gives meaning to the amateur astronomer's saluation "clear skies."

Where about in Virginia do you live? I also live in Virginia and am having the same problem, except tonight, its partly cloudy and very transparent here in Roanoke.

Ditto from Colorado -- except a wee bit cooler (overnight 'teens since Tuesday with yet more snow falling as I type this). Saturday should warm up above freezing.

Perfect time to take a week off from work, eh? What the hay -- we need the snowpack *far* more than a I need a few hours' worth of Saturn & Jupiter watching.

Hang in there, and I'll do the same.
