Finally something astronomy related

I just looked out my lanai, and saw that Orion was nearly impossible to see.  The reason for this, is that it is so high in the sky, it's mostly blocked by the ceiling.  This is weird, because I know that just a few days ago, @BadAstronomer pointed out how he could just barely see Orion peaking over the horizon.

I think I've just always been around +40 degrees latitude, so suddenly being 20 degrees south of that is weird.  I don't think that this really translates into that much more of the sky (20%? Did I do that math correctly in my head?). Still, since it's mostly by the horizon, it's not that noticeable, I don't think.
