It's going to dry things out for sure. Which means, hopefully, less chance of fog at night.

The 28 day forecast was looking good too - hope we don't jinx ourselves now!

Allan - I don't have the observatory, but I do have a super long USB cable so I can set up inside the house or at least in the camper trailer. The tent was reading 4 degrees while outside was zero when I was up at Leyburn last month.

Yes, I agree.
That's enough weather talk for now.

For scientific folk, it sure is ironic that we have beliefs in jinxes, curses and rain gods.

Now, now don't get too excited yet.....
I may be visiting Star Optics tomorrow morning.
That will be the ultimate weather tester.
