It's too cloudy here. :(

trying to keep awake for it.

It's cloudy here too. :(

yay for not being cloudy tonight! just looked outside earlier and its just started.

I'm sorry the people in the cloudy areas can't see it -- the moon is looking really cool right now!

3/4ths gone here...how ya looking where you are nittany?

I just went outside to see and its too cloudy. Booo.

it's now gone....a red ball in the sky

yep - perfect night for it here. I even let kids stay up to watch it!

Hope the clouds disappear for the rest of you!

Yes! Red ball! How neat is that?? I don't think I've ever seen that before!!

It looks terrific! Just magical! Those of us in MD/DC have a great clear view right now!

I saw it! or rather, I'm seeing it!

I had the kids up watching it too. My son is really into that stuff. After I tucked him tonight, he said "Happy Lunar Eclipse!" He thought it was very cool.

ETA: Ironically, my daughter was not as interested because she was working on a project for science where she has to create her own planet, tell what color it is (based on what gases are prevalent), what, if any, life is there, etc. She also had to make a paper mache model of her planet. It is, of course, a pink and purple planet, because she's a 14 year old girl.

No joy. Cloudy and a little snow tonight.
