cloudy lunar eclipse

I was disappointed the sky was so cloudy Tuesday morning. I checked at 1:15 AM, and again at 3:00, and the Moon was not visible thru the clouds.

Tim, a buddy who lives about 45 minutes north of us, had more fortune. He snapped these images of the last lunar eclipse of the year. Our next lunar eclipse is scheduled for December 10, 2011. It will be only partially visible at moonset from the east coast.

First Snow of Winter

Today we were suppose to get a light dusting of snow that would quickly melt because of the ground temperature.

It snowed for several hours this afternoon. At times the flakes were small, at others the flakes were big and fat.

We've got more than a light dusting.
