Heard about that on a local news program. We will have clear skies but would probably have to get away from city lights for the full effect.
Trouble is...it will be minus 10 C tonight although the winds are a bit lighter than normal. Wind chill will be minus 16 C.
Probably need a good pair of long johns to stay warm.

Too overcast to see it here. maybe tomorrow night.

That is one of the things that drove me out of that area.

It's a shame you can't tune in WTOP tomorrow. Should be a potfull of accidents
to hear about!

I drove 40,000 - 50,000 miles a year there for 17 years. I know about
the accidents.

I didn't think to look but I bet it is no brighter than venus on a
close approach. They do tend to hype these things a little. A month or
so ago something was supposed to be as bright as the moon.
What was actually true was it was the second brightest thing in the
night sky but there was a huge gap between #1 and #2. It was just a
slightly brighter "star".

In Just-AN-Asshole's case, it is all three.

We've got a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain all set for tonight. So, I'm
not gonna be out lookin' for the Star of Bethlehem.

That's just as well. You'd have a difficult time finding three wise
men and a virgin, not to mention suitable gifts. :-)

It's finding the virgin that's a bitch. The rest is easy.
