A Minor Lull and More Deep Cold!

A little snow and then a deep freeze has left many of Virginia's schools shut down for the past week and after a little warm up Monday the east coast will return to the deep freeze for the upcoming week. A coastal storm's path Wednesday, now looking off shore, could get interesting this week.  Greece and Burma appear on the quake list today - and the more usual spots as well.  The week's volcano list, once up and correct - still not sure what the Spanish volcano was about - has some new names, although all are on the ring of fire - well, Iceland, but it's its own little spot of fire. Central and South America dominate the volcano list with a calming in Indonesia and on the Kamchatka peninsula.
The waning crescent moon, above Antares, the heart of Scorpio, early this morning, will slide toward the morning star, Venus, for Tuesday and Wednesday morning.  The moon will continue to shrink this week, passing between us and the sun on Thursday afternoon: the New Moon. Rusty Mars rises before midnight, above bright Spica.  Golden Saturn, not up for a couple more hours spends the winter in Libra and is best seen high in the south just before dawn. But, it's cold out there so bundle up but don't let that stop you from getting out, today on Earth.
