There should be a single word for the concept "what a difference a day makes". Most mornings recently, at least the big guns have been kicking up a fuss around 1300UT, but today it was unusually quiet then. There was a definite lift after 1400UT, with a couple of oddball mysteries turning up, but generally this was a poorer morning than yesterday by some way.
