The good news is that it isn't as cold as expected this morning.
The bad news is there is a slight overcast layer of clouds in the Ozarks.
Of course it is the unexpected overcast layer that has kept the temperature a few degrees warmer than the forecast. It is also the reason that I won't be viewing this morning's meteor shower.
Expecting clear skies, I set my alarm for a 2:30 AM wake up, dressed, made my coffee and got out to the car before looking at the sky. Since I was planning on finding a spot away from town anyway, I decided to take a drive and see if the sky cleared in a few miles.
It didn't.
I did make the decision not to drink my coffee until I found clear skies. That way I wouldn't be too caffeinated to sleep if I found myself back at home -- like now. The coffee will be fine in the thermos for a few hours. It's been a year since I've used that thermos. I don't have much need for it since I no longer have to carry coffee to work.
Now to see if I can get back to sleep.
I'm a bit bummed about missing another night show, but that is the chance you take when it comes to watching the night sky.
Until next time ...

So sad, after you had planned your night's viewing well. Weather does that.
I'm glad I didn't make the trip to Springfield to see the show.
