Conditions should be okay but it will be bitterly cold tonight.
If you decide to visit to take a quick peek adults are welcome tonight.
Please beware there is ice near the inside of the small gate in the parking lot behind the stands.
Try to avoid it or use extreme caution. Also walk directly over packed snow from junior high parking lot to the observatory because there us black ice on the walkway near the observatory.
Black ice forms where the blacktop walkway around the fence meets the cement and I haven't put salt down so there us black ice there. Please use extreme caution I'd you decide to brave the cold for a peek and dress as if you are going snowmobiling or skiing.
You cannot dress to warm tonight and it's probably better to wait for warmer weather and clear nights.
Also note conditions will be clear but seeing is not perfect so it's really only worth the trip for the most diehard enthusiasts who want to brave the cold for a few minutes of viewing.
A few club members may stop by and there us a heater in the observatory but we rarely use it while viewing to avoid thermal heat currents which can degrade the view
