I can simpathize with Rick on a Ground Hog's Birthday. That is also my birthday and I've been informed there WILL be a family get together at Pappadeaux's Restaurant - including myself. The next day, however, is also important and it just isn't the Super Bowl. You see it is our 40th anniversary and I dare not be caught napping because of telescoping. Not sure how to handle the game and anniversary. I'll let that to the head of the War Department. Hope there are clear skies for everyone else, aj ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Tejera" <saguaroastro@xxxxxxx> To: <az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 7:10 PM Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Weather in AZ Well, Since Saturday I s Lindsay's Birthday, I guess I can offer myself up as the sacrificial lamb. Hoping for the Antennas the following week. The past few weeks remind me of March/April back on Long Island.

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 -- 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. -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
