Super Blue Blood Moon was a Bust here

I woke up at 5 AM, remembered this very rare moon event and recalled that I had been able to see the moon through the clouds late last night.
So up I rose, threw on a warm bathrobe and ventured out the front door. It was cold, but not raining, yet there were clouds above that totally obscured whatever was happening beyond them. Drat!
Well, the newspaper had been delivered, so I grabbed it, came back in and started the coffee.
I read the post from China by @changjiangzhibn89 about the moon event coinciding with his wife's birthday. What a great day that made!
I'll be checking out more Moon posts. How was your moon experience?
By the way, why won't some things highlight that are supposed to?

@JamesHxstatic Vince isn't here and I don't know which file the photos are in so I'll have to wait till he comes home. He is very particular but I feel sure there will be one worth putting up in a discussion.

Oh I did not know that. That does leave the day open for unexpected events and it could happen on significant days in history as well.

Have no idea what happened to the super moon. I never go to bed too early and when I do I usually always can see a full moon right out my bedroom window. But this super moon I did not see anywhere.

@JamesHxstatic - It was a bust for me, too. We live on the side of a hill and, when I got up this morning, I threw a coat on over my nightgown and ran outside. I even walked a little way down the sidewalk outside of my house, to a view spot where I can look all the way to Saddleback Mountain. No moon. It must have been low in the sky on the other side of the hill. I was not willing to walk to the top of the hill in my nightgown in order to see it, so I missed it. Some of my friends who live in other parts of my community did see it, though. Bummer!

@JamesHxstatic - I hated to miss it, too. Guess I'll have to wait 19 years for the next big event like this one! LOL
