It looks like this Saturday night is going to be clear. The temperature will start off at 37 degrees and drop to 28 degrees. Checking to see if anyone wants to have this event or should it be changed to the next month date of February 15th?

I will not be able to make it.

If no one indicates they need some help, I’d postpone it to next month. I suspect roads might still be icy tomorrow night, too.

It looks like tonight is not going to be clear until maybe after 9pm. The temperature will start off at 32 degrees and it is going to be windy. Checking to see if anyone wants to have this event or should it be changed to the next month date of March 15th?

I’m still a bit under the weather, so even if clear and calm, won’t be attending tonight.

Good thing it was changed, Totally forgot about it, was a bit distracted tonight. Thanks!

Considering the recent winds and the current poor air quality, the skies are looking less favorable for viewing with about 10% cloud coverage and poor seeing at sunset. I think I will decline to be there this evening.

Will this be rescheduled again?

I’m not there to make the call. Let me know by 4:30pm if this needs to be cancelled.

The next one will be at Lake Hefner WSP on April 12th.

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but I would call it off myself. Though I am not the best judge, lol. It’ll be pretty windy and about 30% cloud cover and the seeing will be below average.

Tonight has been officially cancelled on the calendar.

North winds are bitter. Skies still hazy with dust/smoke. Good call.

I can make WSP on April 12.
