| Date | Time | Weather Summary | Sky Conditions Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005-01-02 | 22:45 |

The sky is covered with clouds and freezing rain is falling. The steps in front of the house are very slippery. It is also rather windy. |
rating = 0
The sky is unobservable. |
| 2005-01-08 | 21:20 |
temperature = -5.6 C
The ground is covered with several inches of snow that fell this afternoon. However, at this time the sky is mostly clear with only a few areas obscured by haze or high clouds. |
rating = 4
Good conditions exist over most of the sky. Deep sky observations would be very possible. In some directions the limiting magnitude is somewhat inferior. |
| 2005-01-12 | 22:00 |
temperature = -1.5 C
It is totally cloudly and lightly sleeting. |
rating = 0
The sky is unobservable. |
| 2005-04-08 | 22:30 |
temperature = 2.8 C
Cool but not cold. Some clouds in the north and west but otherwise clear. |
rating = 4
Aside from the clouds, the conditions are good. There is no moon and the sky is dark. All object types are observable. The clouds are a bit pesky, however, and they do detract from an otherwise excellent evening. |
| 2005-04-12 | 21:15 |
temperature = 1.7 C
Generally clear skies, but some thin clouds. |
rating = 3
Quite a few stars are visible across much of the sky. However, there is a layer of high, thin clouds that washs out the faint stars and causes the bright stars to appear fuzzy. These clouds are particularly noticable in the vicinity of the waxing cresent moon. |
