Carvers Gap Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yeah, we should have gone with a thread for that one this morning. There was plenty of model support. I just thought I was nuts since it didn't get more attention. @kvskelton, great pics! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Planet pre-observation for Friday night: Uranus should be visible through binoculars or telescope just to the lower left (mainly lower) of Mars. Couple nights ago Uranus would have been easy to find between Mars and the Moon, but of course it was cloudy. Moon has moved. Planets are a little slower compared to the Moon. One should be able to find Uranus lower slightly left of Mars, about 7'clock that's direction from Mars (orange or reddish). Well the time might work too, just make sure it's dark. Uranus is not visible without magnification. This wasn't worth a thread, but it's more than banter. It will soon be an observation. Should be valid Friday and Saturday night. Sunday night looks cloudy. Have a good weekend! UPDATE regrettably it was cloudy Saturday and Sunday. Friday Uranus was hard to discern from stars using binoculars; however, Uranus is a small blue disk through a telescope. Nothing like the other planets, but obviously a planet vs a point of light star. AHEAD I would think Uranus will stay near Mars for a few days. Honestly it's easier to use a programmable telescope. Will attempt Andromeda again. Usually it's obvious in a 'scope but I don't think I was lined up right Friday. All of the above are pretty high in the sky early evening. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Does the thunder rule count if you see it on GOES derived imagery? The convection associated with those strikes across Cumberland county passed just over my area. First time it has gotten that dark with a shower since summer, but no thunder or lightning IMBY. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearman Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Snowing in the Cedar Bluff area. Nothing better than a surprise event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Ground is actually starting to whiten up a bit, already equal to the last system for me. Some of those flakes must have been gargantuan to have survived that melt layer that caused the sleet, and still be as big as they were. Mostly sleet for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I've had heavy sleet for about the last hour enough to coat the ground and my deck is dangerous...Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
