Good Evening,
Forty meters was normal: noisy and full of QSB :) But it was nice to hear
folks from all over. Afterward I would have enjoyed a walk in the quiet but
the rain was pretty heavy. Guess I need to invest in some rain gear this year
so I can walk no matter what. The heavy weather does keep the jay wars under
control. I wonder why Hitchcock did not use them as his models? When there
are scraps of potatoes, popcorn, or rice they enjoy my habit of putting out for
them. I also have two basins and a dog dish on the deck where they can wash
and water themselves.
From the list of reports it appears the East, Colorado, Wyoming, and now
here are getting cold. Tomorrow night I am due for more snow. The folks south
of the border report 80 degree weather. Currently the stream of clouds is
aimed slightly north of me. I did get one peek at the sun just before it set.
I expect the folks in Washington are getting the heavy rain I received earlier
today. Those south of me did mention rain earlier in the week so this pattern
is moving slowly northward. Hopefully we will get to the southern part of this
stream so it will be warm rain instead of snow.

If there are any errors please email me with the corrections. Now to get
more wood inside while it is still light and the rain is lighter. I hope you
all had a Happy Easter. Try to save some of those chocolate bunnies for later
so you don't get sick! I will watch the sun (remotely of course) over the next
week to see if the next CME is aimed earthward. I will also monitor the birds
and flowers just so I know the area news. Hopefully the trilliums in the wind
blown area will come back. There were a few hundred in that area in years
past. I do miss the calypso orchids but expect they will be dormant until
conditions are just right; they are quite sensitive indicators.
Until next week stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
