Super duper moon

Harvest Moon
George Iness

Today is the super moon, the closest full moon of the year. According to NASA, super moons can appear 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter in the night sky.  It is the closest full moon since 1948.

Will we see it?  Our sweet November summer is over, and it's been raining on and off all weekend.  We're in between storms this morning, so there might be just enough clearing to sneak a peek.
