      we got lucky here in San Antonio texas, was able to see it the transit with pin hole box viewer and follwed the live web cam from Hawaii....although we have cloud cover, we got a few breaks and manage to see the sun and Venus.

      I was lucky enough to go out with the family and share in this once in a life time event with them. I had went to an observatory where excitment was high. Though, the cloud cover, n rain dampened our moods. When I got home, I decided amongst a thunder n lightening storm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to check the weather of the rest of the World during this event.

      From the places that I checked: Japan, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Africa, Canada, the US (cept Arizona/California (clear with about 24 degrees), still checking), Ireland, etc all have cloud cover, and in most instances have lightening n rain.

      I find myself asking if Venus's transition had much to do with our weather here on Earth.

      Ok, I'm now going back to the thunder n lightening storm currently going on for the last 2 hours.

      It was great in Hyderabad, India - clear sky with a small cloud cover at ~9:30 a.m. which cleared within 5 minutes. Now I can live in peace for the next 105 years.
