Rain could be heavy this weekend
As we are trying to dry out from rainfall earlier this week. We have a second round of rain moving in for the weekend. The good news is that it doesn't appear the entire weekend will be a washout. Sunday looks to have the most widespread and heavy rainfall.
The Andromeda Nebula
One of the nebulas I have been able to photograph in the month of February is the Andromeda Nebula. I know there are some who may not know much about the Andromeda nebula, so I wanted to take a moment today to give you some history.
Get ready for rain
We have been forecasting for several days that rain would move into the county and the area today. For most of the day we will see off and on showers. More widespread rain will move in later this evening as we transition to the overnight hours.
Days of rain ahead
We are certainly in need of rain. All you have to do is look at the latest drought monitor to see that. Or simply go outside and walk around to see just how dry the ground is. We will get some relief over the next few days as rain moves into the area and the county.
The Orion Nebula
Earlier this week while taking some photos of the night sky. I captured this photo of the Orion nebula. I wanted to take a few moments today to tell you about the Orion nebula and what we know about it.
Warm weather has residents looking toward spring
The start of spring is right around the corner, but while we were able to bask in early warmth yesterday, millions will still be reaching for their winter coats -- and potentially their snow shovels.
