It's so bright....it hurts!!!!

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

After having far from great skies for so long , the SWerlies kicked in last night , dropping the overnight temperatures a bit. But boy hasn't it cleared the skies. (note the full moon in the background ) .

So much so that after walking outside before to sit in that glorious sunshine I had to beat a hasty retreat back inside to grab a pair of sunnies. Man is that sun bright this morning. The air is so clear, clean and sharp you could shave with it. Fingers crossed this fabulous clear sky is here to stay for a few weeks.

Yes. Sure is crisp and clear out there this morning.

It looked beautiful as the sun came up.

Was already up watching the Netherlands thump France 4-1 at Euro 2008.

Bright and clear and sunny. A perfect day for golf. My son (11yrs old ) is competing in a "Futures" comp this afternoon.
It's a pity about the moon though for tonight.

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

At least you were doing something worthwhile Matt, Jupiter certainly wasn't worth a look last night. It looked like Thhhhbbb!!! at 80x last night.

Brrrrrr.

The temperature is dropping fast tonight.
It was 10C at 7.10pm and 8C at 8.10pm. I'd hate to think what the temp will be in the morning. I reckon we're in for a frost.
Welcome to Winter!

[astroron (Ron)]

One of my Thermomiters reads 4.5C and and the other 3.5C
Either way it is still B**** cold
As you say jjj we could get frost tonight.

I hear you Alex.
That's how I was last winter after my op.
You can't move around enough to warm yourself up and it hurts to shiver.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

It's a balmy 10 degrees here at 9.10am.
And after last night it actually feels warm.
Though it may be that I'm in the last stages of hypothermia.
