That explains the sudden and unseasonal clouding over this morning.   I had wondered.

Electrical fields attract water droplets....  You are far enough north and close enough to a lot of water to make it consistent for you :D

The solar wind has been bouncing all day, the aurora charts are lighting up, it shows no sign of slowing down. Check the skies tonight if you are in the north :D

My fingers and toes are crossed here... lots of wind and lots of puffy clouds and no rain, so I might just get lucky.

I figure that in 1/2 an hour, I'll walk down to where I might be able to see the moon, as there are too many tall trees to my east here.

The clouds are clearing.  Fingers crossed.

I spent a lot of time observing the moon last night, so it will be interesting to see how it looks tonight.  Love me a gibbous moon. (Eaaster egg for terry Pratchett fans)

The moon looks amazing.  Tiny splinter of light atop of a red orb
