Wow, what great timing, Shasta!  It's awful cold outside, but we just took a long walk so we could enjoy that bright moon.  It's gorgeous!   :D

Saw it this morning on the way in to work (dark and westbound) as it was setting close to the horizon. Unfortunately here in Northern Virginia it's pretty cloudy and will be until after it dumps several inches of snow on us through Sunday morning.

I'd have to wear boots if I took a walk tonite. You are brave! It's 29º here and we've had snow all day. It stopped a bit, then started up again. I'm sure it's beautiful out with the big moon on the snow! I'm gonna go look soon.

Oh no! Did all of the snow that you got at the end of December even melt yet? That full moon will last a few days--maybe you can see it again after Sunday! :)

It did, mostly (though I was surprised to see a shady area where there was still a small snowpile). We're supposed to get 1-4" between 4 AM tomorrow and 4 AM Sunday. It would be especially to see a nearly full moon on snow, that's for sure!

LOL. I just put on my boots and trudged out to start the car and check the mailbox. Couldn't see a thing. It's cloudy here, too. Maybe tomorrow.

That's good. I'd hate for the new snow to pile up on that huge one that you had earlier! I think we have a good 4 or 5 inches tonite. It's really pretty.

29 degrees sounds downright balmy!  :laugh:  It's 5 degrees here  - but most of the snow we had melted with a brief warm snap we had last weekend and it's a crystall clear night.  Last year we had tons and tons of snow, but this year we've been lucky; the big storms have avoided us somehow!

It's actually 25 here. I don't know why I put 29. But that is much better than 5! 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.
