Scattered Thoughts . . .

W e awoke to a blanket of snow this morning!  Actually, I felt like I was trying to sleep under a blanket of snow through the night last night so I didn't get much sleep.  I was borderline shivering most of the night.  When we got up this morning, outside was all white again....

As expected, April's weather forecast has changed.  Unfortunately, it has not changed in the way we need.  Now, rather than there being only three clear days forecast for April, there are zero clear days in all of April!   It is not looking good for any sort of astronomy in April.   Of course, we could get extremely lucky and get a few hours of clear skies in the early afternoon of the eighth...  from 2pm to 4:30pm...  I'm not holding my breath though.
