No good to me just now. You know that song that says it never rains in Southern California? Lies. Supposed to go on all week. On the up side, supposed to dump some real snow on the ski resorts for the first time this winter.

I believe its all year round there is a sign up email address on the site which will get you an email when its due to fly by :0))

Another useful website is www.heavens-above.com (http://www.heavens-above.com) (http://www.heavens-above.com/main.aspx?lat=58.5936&lng=-3.5221&loc=Thurso&alt=13&tz=GMT for Thurso). It will show you when you can see the ISS, iridium satellite flares, where the bright comets are in the sky and much more. Remember to wave as the astronauts in the ISS fly across the sky above you at a mere 17000mph :)
