Title: Meteors!
Post by: Typhoon on November 06, 2003, 08:10:15 PM
Hey just a reminder!! If you are in North America, the Leonids meteor shower will be at its peak on Nov. 19. So make sure and catch the show! It should be awesome! Also there is a Lunar eclipse this Saturday night, at 7:06 CST.  I caught the Leonids last year and it was breath taking. Or maybe it was the year before. Heck I dont remember but it was COOL!! :)

Perfectly clear night tonight. Got a perfect vies of the Lunar eclipse. Looked like it was just a weeee bit short of being total but what do I know. Also saw a great preview for the meteor shower. A blazing one that startes at about 11 oclock from the moon in its full eclisped state and went to the north and clear to about 7 oclock. Pretty cool sight on a frost Michigan night. Goona be down in da teens tonight.

Clear?  Must be nice but then we'll probably only drop into the the mid 20s.  Lake effect has it good points.

Just a dusting here.  From what I've heard they got more north, west, and south of us.  I didn't go out and verify those reports as we'll get our share soon enough.
