Yes, it is - I woke up and we had snow and now it is again snowing. Very little, but looks beautiful - when the sun will come out again, then we have my favourite weather! :)

Scientists have proven, what we all know: decaf kills! ;)

The Kickelhahn - the mountain being Ilmenau's town landmark - is covered with some snow. So it can't take too long any more until we get snow here in Ilm itself. It's already constantly below 5° Celcius here since some days.

Need to hack TikiMaps...... ;)

I somehow lost my brigthStars background.. hmm, perhaps it only shows at night? We'll see.. ;)

Since currently the moon is a little hard to get into a picture with a reasonably sized earth, I fell back to a command-line from the XPlanet homepage. It shows the eclipse of December 4, 2002, as seen from the Sun at 6 AM UTC. My shot has additionally the moon-orbit projected as well as the ISS including its orbit and projection onto the earth:

Well, the cloud cover isn't real for sure (it's of course the current cloud cover as it is now ;) ).

I'll post some more, when there are good pictures here! :)
