COLD TO RAINY
- From: zackshields
-
Description:
Another taste of Winter this morning with lows in the 30s. Most of the freezing temps happened north and west of Austin for the second straight morning.
The next storm system is coming into view. It is spinning west of California and will take aim on Texas as we wrap up the work week.
This will be a direct hit on us. It won't be like Sunday night when the rain was in and out of here. Expect multiple rounds of rain on Friday with a few storms that will stay below severe limits.
Here is what the computer model is showing. Enjoy the sunshine today because the clouds march in tomorrow.
The rain will soon follow late Thursday night into Friday.
The rain will be heavy at times and since we will get waves of rain the totals will add up.
The models are showing totals on the high end.
So the bottom line....Sunny today, cloudy tomorrow and rainy on Friday so we will trade in our jackets for some rain gear.

LEONID METEOR SHOWER
- From: zackshields
-
Description:
If you can brave the cold weather, there will be a great show going on in our night sky...the Leonid meteor shower.
![leonidsnorth[1].jpg](http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/82263/photos/PHOTO_6669879_82263_4690568_ap_320X240.jpg "leonidsnorth[1].jpg")
This year's Leonid meteor shower peaks tonight. If forecasters are correct,the shower should produce a mild but pretty sprinkling of meteors over North America followed by a more intense outburst over Asia. The phase of the Moon will be new, setting the stage for what could be one of the best Leonid showers in years.
We're predicting 20 to 30 meteors per hour over the Americas, and as many as 200 to 300 per hour over Asia," says Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "Our forecast is in good accord with independent theoretical work by other astronomers.
Leonids are bits of debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle. Every 33 years the comet visits the inner solar system and leaves a stream of dusty debris in its wake. Many of these streams have drifted across the November portion of Earth's orbit. Whenever we hit one, meteors come flying out of the constellation Leo.
It's just a coincidence. This year, Mars happens to be passing by the Leonid radiant at the time of the shower. The Red Planet is almost twice as bright as a first magnitude star, so it makes an eye-catching companion for the Leonids:

1ST FREEZE OF YEAR
- From: zackshields
-
Description:
Rain is gone and now the Winter-like chill will take over.
The latest cold front has made it in. It produced a tiny line of showers overnight.
Since the rain formed right on top of us the totals were low.
Behind the front it will feel totally different...mostly sunny, much cooler and breezy.
![image1[1].gif](http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/82263/photos/PHOTO_6668935_82263_4690568_ap_320X240.jpg "image1[1].gif")
Tonight with the winds relaxing and the clear/dry conditions in place, raditional cooling will be
in high gear allowing temperatures to tumble quite a bit.
Here is what the model is showing for lows tomorrow morning.
Some spots in Hill Country will have a light freeze so freeze advisories have been posted.
Get ready for a taste of Winter.
Freeze warning for Llano and Gillespie Counties. Freeze watch that will turn into warning for San Saba and Mason counties.
Keep jackets handy for the next few days.

Cooler Weather Coming!
- From: scottprinsen
-
Description:
A winter chill has developed over the Rockies this weekend, and some of that chill is moving into Texas right now. As of this afternoon, the cold front is in the Texas Panhandle and moving south...
Temperatures behind the front were in the 20s and 30s today, while ahead of the front we saw highs in the 70s. A few showers were seen east of Austin, but as the front gets closer overnight, showers and a few thunderstorms are expected.
Rain totals are not expected to be very high, generally half an inch or less. The highest totals should be east of Austin.
Expect clearing behind the front for Monday morning... with a sunny, breezy and cooler afternoon. Monday's highs will only be in the 60s!
Several chilly nights are ahead... and for Hill Country residents, we could see a light freeze Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning...
Areas around Junction and just to the west of our Texas Hill Country are already under a freeze watch for Monday night.
A warming trend is expected for the second half of the work week... but a few disturbances may bring us a few showers Friday through Sunday of next weekend. Highs next weekend look to be in the 70s.
Enjoy the cooler weather... it's almost here!

ASTEROID NEAR-MISS
- From: zackshields
-
Description:
A newly discovered asteroid designated 2009 VA, which is only about 7 meters in size, passed about 2 Earth radii (14,000 km) from the Earth's surface Nov. 6 at around 16:30 EST. This is the third-closest known (non-impacting) Earth approach on record for a cataloged asteroid. The two closer approaches include the 1-meter sized asteroid 2008 TS26, which passed within 6,150 km of the Earth's surface on October 9, 2008, and the 7-meter sized asteroid 2004 FU162 that passed within 6,535 km on March 31, 2004. On average, objects the size of 2009 VA pass this close about twice per year and impact Earth about once every 5 years.
Asteroid 2009 VA was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey about 15 hours before the close approach, and was quickly identified by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge MA as an object that would soon pass very close to the Earth. JPL's Near-Earth Object Program Office also computed an orbit solution for this object, and determined that it was not headed for an impact. Only thirteen months ago, the somewhat smaller object 2008 TC3 was discovered under similar circumstances, but that one was found to be on a trajectory headed for the Earth, with impact only about 11 hours away.

IPL vs. C02
- From: EscobedoSkinCenter
-
Description:
Since the Ultrapulse C02 laser arrived at Escobedo Skin Center, we’ve been getting questions about IPL treatment (Intense Pulsed Light, commonly called a photofacial) and fractional laser treatments like Ultrapulse and Fraxel.
Many people think that a few cheaper IPL treatments will get rid of wrinkles or deeper skin damage, but that just isn’t true.
IPL Treatment
For sun damage, rosacea, uneven pigment or brown spots, IPL is perfect. But IPL does not treat deeper levels of skin to remove the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Fractional C02 Treatment
Fractional lasers like Ultrapulse and Fraxel treat acne scars as well as signs of aging such as brown spots and wrinkles. They stimulate collagen in the second layer of skin, restoring elasticity and erasing wrinkles and scarring.

HP at UT Goes Green
- From: TheCampusBlogger
-
Description:
As they are no strangers to competition, it is no wonder The University of Texas at Austin is doing so well in the challenge to claim the nation’s Greenest Campus. Hewlett Packard, named the greenest large company in America by Newsweek, is pitting 14 campuses against each other to see who will take away the Greenest Campus title. To help this project move forward, HP has created a Power to Change widget which students can download and keep track of how much energy their computers are saving when turned off as opposed to sleep mode. So far, UT is ranked at #2 as having the most widget downloads, compared to the 14 other schools participating. Other universities participating include the University of Oregon, Washington State University, Purdue University and the University of Central Florida, just to name a few.
Currently, HP on the UT Campus is hosting a YouTube contest, asking students to make a 60 second video about why conservation and environmental awareness is important. The first place winner of the competition will received a scholarship award of $125 and the second place winner a $50 award. For more information about the competition, please visit the Facebook Event, and for more information about HP, please visit their Texas-specific website here.
