[sac-forum] Re: Perseids

Dick, Andrew - Thanks so much for your links. They are bookmarked and will be tracked for data.
Dick, I like the idea of a possible live video feed on Steve. I see one of two possibilities for the audio portion - Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries or, even though it's a bit past the season, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring would work for me as well since it's pretty well loaded with "atmosphere." 

Again, my thanks to you both.    Janis

It is an hourly weather graph for the Flagstaff area (the closest major
graphing site I can find near Cherry).  You can set it up for the 48-hour
window you want to examine and check which boxes you want to see-- for
instance, SKY COVER.  When I did this, Saturday night shows about 51% sky
cover-- this could be in the form of clouds, or heavy haze, but it looks
more and more like Steve needs to do his dance, and maybe if it were
televised, it might work even better.  Ahem.

This morning, trying for a general triangulation in the Cherry Rd. area, I am getting scattered thunderstorms (30%) for Saturday and Sunday nights in Prescott, Prescott Valley and Flagstaff area. As peak shower period is late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, this doesn't sound so good.
Does anyone have differing information (better/worse?)? Alternate sites that might offer a better opportunity sans a really sweltering place for viewing the event?
(Personal Note: Steve, I need you out there shaking your buff booty no later than 8:30 p.m. tonight and continuing pretty much non-stop through Friday night at the very least. Runes are also suggesting the rubbing of bat guano into your hair before beginning to enhance the overall effectiveness.) 


Thanks,   Janis
