NOAA now says 1% cloud cover 40 degrees and 8 mph wind. Accuweather says 1%
cloud cover 40 degrees and 7 mph wind. We should try to arrive before 6 pm so
we are ready to observe before 7 pm. We have Mike on meteorites, Don, Sam,
Frank, Eric, Darlene and Earl , most with telescopes. The Bad Donkey should be
open if people want to grab a bite before 7 pm. Take care, Sam

We have 3 parties next week. Tuesday @BM, Thursday @PVCC, and a school
Friday, I can probably only do 2 of the 3, so I have to decide which one
not to attend. I am leaning towards doing BM and the school.

It will be cold. However, I also plan on bringing a thermos of
hot chocolate and thermos of hot apple cider. I will bring a
few extra cups, but it would be nice if PAS people brought their
favorite hot drinks. So far I see Mike, Sam, Frank, Eric, Earl,
Darlene, and Don as having rsvp'd. Dress warm, with parkas,
hats, gloves. Tonight the seeing looks beautiful and it is
cold. No doubt it will be cold at PVCC Blk Mountain. I
just hate to cancel since we cancelled Nov and Dec and 3 times
in a row is very sad indeed. However, if enough of you don't
want to do it, let me know and I will ask Terri to cancel. Right
now, however, I still want to give it a try. If you get real
cold, we can take turns going inside the PVCC building to warm
up for a few minutes. There will be a lot of good objects to
view: Jupiter, Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, M81 & M82,
Gamma Andromeda double star, etc...Let's try to make it
work. Take care, Sam

I have been looking at the PVCC Blk Mtn coordinates 2
miles S of Cave Creek, not the City of Phoenix. So the
temp should be 40 degrees at 7 pm and then get to the mid
30's by 10 pm. We should be out of there by 10 pm. Mike
and I and Frank are still planning on doing the Jan 15th
event. If it clouds up or if there are strong
winds we can reconsider. But so far Skippy Sky says
no clouds, The Weather Channel says no clouds and
Accuweather says no clouds so I think we should still do
it. Again, things could change so we should continue to
monitor it each day. If anyone does back out, please let
me know asap. Take care, Sam

this week
The only issue here is that when it's 40 in Phoenix, it's 8º to 10º colder up
here. While the official low for last night was 37º, it hit 29º here north of
Pinnacle Peak.
So, keep that in mind when we're looking at BMCC - it will be a good bit
chillier than the Phoenix report.

That is just too cold for these old bones; so I will not be attending.
