Weather's Parting Shot

 


Late afternoon yesterday, looking east as the sun sets.

As we watched this double rainbow form up in the rays of the setting sun, we hoped that it foreshadowed a weather change. This morning we awoke to calm, clear blue skies with the full moon* setting in the west. We're good to go!!!

*January's full moon is commonly called the wolf moon because wolves are mating at this time of year and can be heard howling on cold nights according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The origin name stems from native american and other northern cultures which describe this moon as "wolves run together".

The first full moon of the new year, known as the wolf moon, will shine in the night sky Thursday. January's full moon reached peak illumination at 12:54 p.m. ET, but it will appear full through Friday evening, according to NASA.
