That's interesting, Patrick, because the Clear Sky Clock for SLC still shows pretty heavy overcast from noon to 4 p.m. (when the solar party would have been held). I wonder why it's so much better at Stansbury - Joe
The way Bruce (he's a meteorologist) explains it it has something to do with the Oquirrh Mountains being so short (north to south) that they let the weather pass on by but the Wasatch Mountains are so long they hold the weather back and it builds up in the SL Valley. patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
