Just goes to show do not consider the jet stream charts as being accurate. It was supposed to be not present last night. Even up your way it suggested that the stream would be around 70ms which is ripping along. it is interesting to see that Callisto will not be transiting the disk for a few apparitions now due to the geometry of the alignment. If this infernal cloud and bad seeing keeps up I might have to drive up to your way and get some data.

No probs Paul, it must be very frustrating but the concrete pad that Bird setup on is certainly available.
Tonights charts look reasonable but the predictions suggest it will go down hill for the next few days, reckon we all live in hope of the jet moving a lot further north.
