perfectly clear night last night, made for brrrrr and easy view of new snow on the IR channel.  all the white you see on west coast and over to the rockies is snow on mountains, not clouds. (well, some clouds of course, but mostly snow).  something haven’t seen in a long time, and hopefully more coming with the front off to the west..
