Last night was clear, but the two previous night I was fogged in. Fog in the valley this morning. I never know it it will reach my level or stay in the valley.

Our forecast shows clear at 11:00, cloudy at midnight and partly cloudy at 1:00 a.m. It's worth staying up and having a look.

It always seems to be cloudy or stormy when these events come. Snow tonight.

I'll post them when I can. My computer is at the apple store after dying on me so I'll have to get it fixed before I can post them
