["Steve Coe" <stevecoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it would seem that we won't be chatting about using telescopes for =
the
next several days...so, I would like to start a weather discussion, =
because
I think it deserves it.

I have lived in Arizona for 31 years now and have been paying attention =
to
the weather for all that time. =20

I have never seen such a consistent squall line of dark clouds, rain,
drizzle, snow in the high country and generally "Seattle-like" =
conditions as
the past ten days to two weeks.  It is utterly fascinating to get up and =
see
dark clouds overhead AGAIN.  Or, wake up in the middle of the night and =
hear
the rain on my roof.  If I had only known, I would have turned off the
sprinkler system.

I do hope that it stops in time to allow us to observe, Saturday night.  =
It
needs to quit by Thursday so that a couple of sunny days can dry out the
ground and stop the dew from forming at 8 PM.  We shall see.

It would be nice to get another set of photos of Comet Holmes.

Here's hoping, clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
