Re: (meteorobs) Re: Florida has improved
Hi Norman,
Thanks for the informative reply. Skies are cloudy here in Miami at 3:10
EST and we have had cloudy conditons most of the day. We have had some
very clear early nights but ground fog in the morning.
I think I'm going to head to the west coast or the pan handle. Would have
prefered to be in the keys though.
Tod
