Caught some second hand low information local news and they seemed quite excited about what looked like a partial moon to me.  I'm like, OK.  This happens every year.  In a few weeks these same excitable low information journalists will be warning us not to walk on the inch thin ice.  It happens every year...

I didn't see it, but have noticed the full moon seems bigger than usual the past couple of nights.

It never ceases to amaze me that...a) people do truly stupid crap and b) people try to stop them from completing their Darwinesque exit!

It's also like the first hurricane to threaten the Eastern seaboard.  They always have to put some moron in a poncho out on the beach as if we're not going to believe that it's really windy.

Yeah, not seeing those morons swallowed by the sea is a big disappointment too...
