Weather stats to make you envious

Just browsing the web site of the Cerro Tololo observatory in Chile and felt sorry for the guys up there (NOT). November was a very bad month for them, with just 28 perfectly clear photometric nights, 1 "partly" cloudy night and poor *******s..the night of 14/15 Nov was mostly cloudy.

Can ya believe that?

Although some other months are slightly worse, if you browse the whole years weather stats it will make you even more depressed

Oh well back to cloudy Newcastle

Let's all emigrate to Chile and go live at Cerro Tolelo. I'm sure the Chilean authorities wont mind when they find out why we're there for
