As a Newbie to Astronomy and to this site I wondered what
one did during long periods bad weather. I imagined maybe stripping scopes and cleaning lenses, Collimating, studying star maps, but now it's clear. WAY too much spare time! It was very amusing to read, thanks Octane for the laugh.
My
belief is that the current bad weather is your formula multiplied by all the Xmas gift Telescopes, mine included.
