The Astronomers Weather Lament

Clear sky in the morning, astronomers take warning

Clear sky at night, only when the moon is bright

Clouds at night when there is no moon in sight

Why can't Larry Sprinkle get this stuff right?

To heck with him AND his weather satellite!


"Astronomers will drive hundreds of miles just to look at clouds!"
