'telescopes crossed' the weather is better than the last one... (not that I went to it....)

[Mike]

Well let's be honest it would be hard pressed to be any worse ! 

[Ian]

nah, it's only bad when I can't get my car into the field...

[Mike]

 

[Mac]

Is it going to be at the swamp? in Feb?
or have we managed to get the other site sorted yet?

Fingers crossed for either No-rain or at least -5, that way we can drive over the frozen field.

If it's chucking down, I could get there early so nobody else can get in 

[Mike]

The weather forecast for SAturday isn't looking too bad at the moment. No mention of rain yet for the weekend.

[Ian]

I've taken a look on meteoblue and while it's not looking too shabby for camping, I don't think we'll be doing much observing

[Tony G]

Looks like some experiments then.

Yep. conditions should be good for solar balloons (cold weather is best for hot air balloons), plus any weather is good for fireworks, air rifles, etc.

[Whitters]

Can't remember can we get 'leccy at the site?

Oh, I see. 
I thought "solar" meant "dependent on sunlight" not "freezing cold"!
