And, it looks like the frigid air is here for awhile. As for that Full Moon...tonight's Moon is the "Wolf Moon" and it's called that since it's the 1st full moon of the year. Tonight's moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the entire year. If your sky is clear, you'll have an opportunity to identify the features on the moon easily. Tonight it will be about 14% wider and 30% brighter than the other full moons of the year. As a bonus...Mars will be just to the left of the moon tonight. Look for the reddish, star-like object. Sounds like a hot tub night to me:)

A Winter's Moon Rise
Full Moon. Chilly temps out there too. It's currently 19 in Wildwood. But, it's going up to a high of 28 later today. Sun's out and the winds have diminished. Those 40mph gusts last night brought the cold blast.

Great Picture! You are very lucky to have that view...I was looking at the Tulleytown landfill as the sun was coming up this morning...haha! (I like to think of it as our future ski mountain...haha!)
Is that picture yours? Did you take that this morning? Nice work! Love the Wolf Moon info!
Awesome info, can hardly wait for it's arrival!
