After all we've been though for the last month or so, it sure is good to look up at the sky and see crystal-clear stars, and is good to look at the national radar loop and see that all the northeastern radar sites are now operating in "clear air mode" (a ring of echoes from ground-based obstacles visible due to the radar being set on super-sensitive.) When was the last time any radar site around here operated in clear-air mode? Or when we saw the stars?

Dewpoint now in the mid-40s, feels like fall. The evaporative effect on the lake surface will draw down the temperature, but will also help the level drop more quickly.
