I haven't looked specifically, but I do check spaceweather.com every day and it frequently deals with atmospheric phenomena. I haven't seen any reports of things out of the ordinary. With much of the country having clear and cold weather, maybe particulate matter is being trapped instead of more freely dispersed? No idea really. :-) Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
