My brother-in-law is Canadian. Bugger walks around in a tee-shirt and shorts all winter long. I've seen photos of him in Canada digging out the snow from the front door after a night-long snow shower - you couldn't see the front door!

Not for me! Like the good man said "a man's gotta now his limitations". I'd rather have to deal with Browns and Red-belly Blacks...

Now, if the clouds would stay away, then this winter would be more bareable if some observing could be done. Last session I was out I forgot to plug in my secondary's heater and it frosted over. Had to use a little 12V hairdrier to clear it up. But I'm not complaining as I did manage some star time that night,

One thing about Orion, once I see its risen in full in the early morning I know I've missed my night's chance to see the Andromeda galaxy,
