It will be quite a sight as the earth's shadow is cast over the moon creating a orange/reddish color. The good news is that skies will be completely clear, but temps will be very cold for standing out to view!
The earth will pass directly between the moon and the sun on Sunday night Jan 20-21, creating the total lunar eclipse. It will begin at 10:34PM as the shadow begins to infringe upon the lower side of the moon. You'll see the start of the total eclipse happen around 11:41PM, and the peak total eclipse will be at 12:12AM Monday morning. It all ends by 1:51AM.
It will look most impressive during the time leading up to the total eclipse, so be sure to look outside after 10:30PM on Sunday night!

I looked out my window one night and saw this frightening old guy looking back.
Turns out it was just my reflection, but I learned my lesson.

Looks like it’s going to clear up here in eastern MD tonight just in time.
We are in the middle of a blizzard in Maine, both snow and sleet today, so we will probably miss the the super blood wolf moon.

You think wolves wear watches?
Some of them might wear a class ring, but I’ve never seen a wolf with a watch on.
I’m in the same blizzard! :)
When you look at your reflection, the image you see is flipped horizontally, so it appears reversed. Why doesn’t it flip vertically, too? If you turn the mirror sideways, nothing changes.
And if mirrors flipped reflections both horizontally and vertically, in order to see how to shave, would you have to stand on your head?
What a pane.
