72 On the "Open Sea!" |
It's the annual 8th grade boat trip. Last year we
actually did this on the first day of summer. This year we'll be on
vacation, so this is as close as we can get to the solstice. It was a
perfect day to be out on Boston Harbor! The temperature was perfect (see
below). The seas were calm. It was a great end to the 2005/2006 school
year! |

It was a perfect day for a sun angle observation.
Unfortunately it wasn't the right day. The forecast was for
clouds tomorrow afternoon, (the last full day of summer) so we
decided to do take the reading today. |

It was the only clear day this week! It was also very
windy! As we went outside to take the picture, a cloud
covered the Sun. Then, just as we were going in, the Sun
returned and we quickly took a reading.The results were very
rushed, and we could only see the Sun through the clouds. We
might retake the image next week. |

It was the first clear day we have had in ages. The
measurement was actually taken about 20 minutes after
local solar noon, so the angle could be a tad low. Look at the
huge difference in the trees in the background. All of the
leaves are gone. |

It was a crystal clear day, and for forecast for the solstice
was clouds moving in by noon. There also was a huge test
happening tomorrow, so today was the day to take the
measurement. Despite the temperature, it was actually nice
outside, but we didn't linger! |

I was quite proud of myself! This image was taken at
exactly local noon based on the NOAA website. This is our
next to last day "mild" weather. We are in for a major arctic
blast starting on Friday. Wind chills could be as low as -24!!! |

It was a balmy 42 degrees at noon today. We are on our way to
hopefully having an almost totally open winter. I hope I don't
jinx it! |

I jinxed it! We've had record cold, but no snow until last
week! This is our largest snowfall of the now complete winter!
It measured about five inches in Scituate. We just missed having
a record low for the season. Just look at the sticks! We are
really getting good at doing this! |

I know, I know, it's over! With a record temperature of 84
degrees, I just had to shoot one more angle! They are out there
in shorts and short sleeves. People are running on the track.
Life is good! |
