Out looking for meteors at 2 AM, just got mountains and clouds lit by the
Moon and stars shining through the haze. I did see one meteor and it was a
beauty, big, bright and slow. It's only 430 I think I'll go out again. At
least it's warm.

Several degrees above zero. This is the winter that wasn't or not yet.
Records set yesterday but we have had only a few days where it hasn't
climbed above zero. Supposedly heading for 13C today. Long range forecast
shows highs dropping to normal levels (-4) by the end of January but not
before. Compared to last winter it's like spring. Of course these temps
mean howling winds which just came up as I type this. Last night the wind
was very strong as I left to the point of blowing my vehicle around a bit on
the highway. 25 km west at my usual spot there was not a breath of wind as
it was at a lower elevation and the warm wind was probably a few hundred
feet above the ground. When I returned home I drove back into the chinook
as I went higher and at home the wind was still howling and it was
noticeabky warmer than out in the country.

13C ! I can't remember when it was that warm here but the foehn wind
explains it. At the moment we have a brisk nor'wester: the gusts around
the showers are blowing the traffic about and the temperature's falling
steadily.

Great catch of Orion and surroundings. Very special effect with the moonlit
clouds...

Thanks Ge. Still waiting for a night clear enough to use a telescope on it.
