It's cold out and it will be getting colder as the month progresses. If you wish to observe I'd suggest dressing as warmly as possible and wear a lot of layers. You can't dress to warm when your observing and this is especially true in the winter.
We will be open but there is light snow and ice around the observatory on the walk. Dress warm and wear something that is suitable for walking in light snow if you are interested. Beware of ice near the door, I dontknow if I'll have time to shovel the snow away.
We should be open from 6pm until 8pm. We may be open later meaning we may break for a late night trip for hot chocolate or snacks nearby and return for more observing if things go well and the sky conditions are good.
I spent some time getting snow to melt off the dome. There's a chance we will use telescopes outside if we have a problem with the shutter. We may do some observing outside with a binocular telescope looking at the moon.
