Bitter Cold and Lunar Eclipse

The first real cold air of the season is on our western doorstep this morning and will barge in through the day today. Temperatures will drop throughout the day and be in the single digits overnight. There is a windchill advisory for the entire area as it will feel about 10 below tonight and early Monday morning.

An avid reader of the WM wanted to be sure that I remind readers of “a really cool celestial event” tonight. His words, not mine. So after the game tonight, make plans to bundle up and go outside to check out the total lunar eclipse. It starts around 9:30 but will reach totality around midnight. Although it’s going to be frigid, skies should be perfect for viewing. There are tons of sites that explain what’s happening, but I thought this animation was pretty good.
