Title: Wolf Moon 2010
Post by: patyrn on January 29, 2010, 06:28:56 PM
Watch for the Wolf Moon of 2010 if you have clear skies tonight.  This should be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year!

Saw a picture of it on the news tonight, probably won't see it here as it is still snowing.

All my calendars show the full moon tomorrow night.  So just maybe you will see it.

It is still snowing in Oklahoma City so we can't see the moon for the clouds either, but it is a very bright night for the conditions.  Kind of a glowing on the white snow.

It has stopped snowing in Bartlesville, the Moon is full, it has a little haze over it but you can see the full moon clear enough.

We aren't clear yet, but it is certainly bright.

I hope to see it tonight. I guess you know as soon as the sun comes out it is going to be so
bright, it will hurt our eyes. I am so ready for some warm sunshine. The next dose of mud, too.
Stay safe people.

Hurray! How much did you finally get?

I saw the moon at 6:00 this morning.  Gives new meaning to "the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow".  It had a ring around it, too.

The snow on my porch rail measures about 8 inches.

I just got back from walking to post office and a couple of blocks beyond.
It is just beautiful out. Where it is melting it will get slick tonight...but the snow gives
enough traction that I had no problem walking. I did not take dogs. They are so low to the
ground that both would have not done well.

I also shoveled out the sidewalk this morning. The snow is still light and easy to move.
I did Not use a lot of muscle. I just let the shovel push the snow off the walk.

Course, this afternoon, I may take a nap and make up for all the exercise. But, I feel good.
Still can't get car out of parking lot. Will not be going to church unless someone calls and offers me
a ride. I will attend on tv.

I still wish I had a couple of kids at home, so I could go play in it. Good sledding (or tubing, or tobaggan would be good too)
Anything. The dogs are liking just being out, too. Their cabin-fever has been pretty bad.

The snow started here just after lunch.Very pretty. Light and airy stuff with nice sized flakes and no wind.  We aren't supposed to get much more than an inch or so. The biggest part is going east way south of us.

I was up at 3:00am and the moon was so bright I thought we had left a light on. It had a haze around it but it was clear and the air was crisp and clean.

Well, Judy made me ashamed of myself; I have just got back in from clearing snow off the patio, several areas of the back yard (for the dogs), and my front walk. This old gal should sleep good tonight. I have a heating pad on my back right now, as I have been having some back problems. I also drove over to the post office, after clearing the little drifts left by the person who so thoughtfully cleared the snow in the alley way as well as either end where the snowplow had stacked it up. I even got my side gate open, usually cannot do that when we have freezing rain before snow, as it sets too low to the ground. Now I need to empty the trash, but after I cook the kids' supper. Its' always something! We should be able to see the full moon easily tonight! Keep warm everyone!

Good for you Edie. Good for you. Now aren't you proud of yourself?
I am feeling my exercise this evening. But, it is so nice knowing I earned
the aches, and didn't just sit around and get them.

I took an extra pain pill. I am plagued with leg cramps and I don't want that
tonight.

If it is nice tomorrow, I may try to walk to church. Or I will flag  someone down
who drives by. I hear we are suppose to be foggy. It depends on how I feel when I get up.

The moon is gorgeous, I am going to dig out my binouculars tomorrow and have a look at the mountains there. It's been a long while since I have done that. I took these (binocs), instead of a pin for my ten year employment, and I must say, I have gotten a lot more use from them. Ha!

I saw the wolf moon tonight from Independence.  I reallly don't think it can get any closer to the earth without hitting something.  I felt like I could just reach up and touch it, it looked that close.

what other types of creatures did you see?   Had you been out mooning again?   I was wondering why the cattle stampeded through fences this side of Independence.

Maybe the Creeper was out and about looking for love under the big full moon.

You know, Delbert, I wish you wouldn't tell everyone that reads this forum my secrets.  I won't have anything to surprise them with anymore.  LOL

Truthfully, when I was looking at the Wolf Moon I was actually looking for Ms. T to ride her broomstick across it.  LOL
