Weather didn’t co-operate for eclipse viewers

Dec 21, 2010 | 5:56 AM

Despite the forecast of clear skies by Environment Canada, people in Prince Albert were unable to see the lunar eclipse early Tuesday morning because of the clouds.

People who set their alarms for 2:15 a.m., which was to be the best viewing time were disappointed.

It was the first total eclipse in two years, but another lunar eclipse will be briefly visible in Saskatchewan next December.

The clouds were expected to burn off Monday evening.
