OK then, I withdraw my Woodstock Rain Chant in favor of Pink Floyd's "Obscured By Clouds" Don't know any Cloud Chants. - Bernie -----Original Message----- From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian Skiff Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 9:48 AM To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Dry winter ahead ...or Bob Mould's "Black Sheets of Rain". It might be worth mentioning that cloudiness is poorly correlated with precip in these parts. The Four Corners location is treeless high desert that gets much less rain/snow than Flagstaff but it is the cloudiest place in Arizona. The expectation is that though precip is likely to be low over the winter, we'll probably get plenty of subtropical jet cirrus, and the number of clear nights will not be much different than usual. \Brian -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
