Well said there Ron!
Hasn't it been fabulous that so many have contributed by way of sketches and reports. It has us "out there" in a sense when the bad weather has been such a burden on us. I feel (and I'm sure many in this section do as well), very bonded to the members here in the obs. forum. It's a great little community we have here within this forum.
If there are any beginners out there (or lurkers) who have been too shy or scared to post obs reports or sketches, please don't feel that way and join us with your contributions, we will welcome & enjoy having you here. And you will get to learn so much!
