Brightest Full Moon of 2010--Friday Night

--- Quote from: Sheriff Roland on January 30, 2010, 09:55:07 am ---I commented on it to my sister too last night, as I was driving towards Timmins. The sun had not quite set yet and the moon looked awfully full on the horizon. And then as I got really near my destination, I was commenting that the sky was better lit in my mirrors than in from of me where there was still a bit of dusk-ish light.
By readjusting the mirror I was able to look at the moon and found it to be rather bright indeed.
I just thought it was unusual that this thread was started on a phenomenon that I too had observed, way up here near the 49th parallel.

:) Cool!
I guess people all over the world could see it? Any Europeans see the big bright moon? Some of us in the U.S. had so much cloud cover--it was not visible. That's a lot of clouds!

I think I'm changing into a werewolf!
Sure do wish I could see that moon tonight. It is cloudy here as well. And cold. Maybe tomorrow will offer a better viewing. :)

I used to force my kids to take "moon walks" with me whenever there was a full moon, but I let it slide tonight. I did, however, go out in the car and ooh and ahh to my now-teenage son, who didn't seem all that impressed. For some reason, he appeared more preoccupied with the girls he was going to meet up with at the mall than what was happening in the sky.

Kids usually only appreciate stuff like that when they get their own kids! Then they realize the importance of certain times. :)

I wouldn't want to be caught out with a flat tire in either one. I just scraped some snow off my car and warmed it up. I was ready to get inside by then. Didn't wear a coat or gloves--just pants, sweatshirt, and boots. If I were going on the road, I'd layer! ;D What did you all wear on your walk? It's not so bad as long as the wind isn't blowing.

Oh, we were definitely dressed in layers with our heaviest winter coats! Plus thinsulate gloves, scarves, hats and hoods! :laugh: And nice warm boots even though there isn't any snow. So naah, not so brave, really! And, you're right, Shasta, it was a very still night and w/o the wind blowing it wasn't so bad. But our walk wasn't quite as long as the ones we normally take in fall, spring and summer.

Going to be too cloudy here tonight to see the moon. :( We're right on the northern edge of that big storm. We might get some snow flurries out of it, but that snow won't amount to much.
