The day started clear and promising, but two or three hours after we woke up after last night (at 15:30 to be precise) clouds came honting over the hill, comming between us and the Teide, and then blocking the sun in a cold windy and wet feeling.. I need not say what happened to the humidity value registered at the weather station...
It's now 00:30 and, yes, the humidity is at 100% still. It has rained, wind has blown.. Still no snow!
I have these odd contradicting wishes: I want to stay up at night to measure spectra of stars.. But I also what it to snow! I want to measure WR6 4 times in a row.. I like white fluffy frozen water.. I want to see the daily evolution of WR 140.. Snow is fun!.. Scopes are fun!..
Oh well, I must find some balance between my opinions.. Maybe I should say: Let it snow when I'm tired... And I don't need it to snow everyday.. It could snow heavily once, and stay cold and dry with little to keep the snow around and allow us to observe :) Or, why not snow during the day and stay clear and warm at night? Hmm, I don't need snow at night, it could melt as long as new snow would appear when I'd wake up..
I better not think too much on this, or I will either turn into a meteorologist, or a failed weather engineer..
100% humidity, 0.5ºC, wind is NW 56km/h.. So will it snow tonight?
