Same here in the western Maryland wastelands.
As usual.

WM is also my neck of the woods. I just now went out expecting not to see it, but was surprised that it was NOT obscured by clouds, even though it was raining and overcast earlier.
Now go to sleep.
PING!

Whiner.
Sunny California has been raining for days. It’s cold, too.
I can see the moon and it’s slightly pinkish to the naked eye, but not a whole lot. A good camera might pick up more color.
It’s cool and always fun to see but it’s just another full moon. A rare super-moon? Not when it happens 5 times a year.
I never could figure out why that 1/3rd of the country is so murderously hot and humid for 5 months/year. The west coast isn’t like that.
One full moon is like any other, to me.
I go out, run the woods and howl for a while and I’m done.
Oh, shaddup.
:D
Even the super-moons where the media is screaming “20% bigger than normal” are a joke. You can’t see that. Most things in nature are logarithmic in nature (in other words, powers of 10), that’s how you perceive things. If something is twice as bright, you’ll never see that. The difference between a moonlit night and sunny day is many orders of magnitude. Same with sound. What’s funny is that a big criticism of the F-35 is that, as my local media was screaming, the F-35 is 4 TIMES LOUDER than the F-16!!!! Wow, sounds bad, right? Sure, until you do some research. The average person out on the town (at least in my locale near an Air Force base) will hear an F-16 at a level of 60 dB. They’re hear an average F-35 at 66 dB. That’s nothing, that’s why the media tries to whip up a frenzy (”4 TIMES LOUDER!!!!1!!!11!!”).
