will CAO be better

Sharmin asked me if viewing the transit of Venus, naked eye, would be "better" at the CAO vs Toronto.

A curious way to ask the question. To view it naked eye, you simply needed clear skies. Wouldn't matter where one was, per se...

So, unless she could find a location in the GTA that offered unobstructed views to the west horizon, we'd be better. Than most locations.

The big question mark would be the weather. I said that some of us were already considering "chasing" the weather...
