Hope for clear skies... Understand it's about 308yrs since the last eclipse fell on winter solstice, true? It was bright enough to exterior paint the exterior of the house last night. With the 4 " of new snow it, it was a fairy wonderland outside. Dead calm. The individual branches of any tree within range had a little "frosting" sitting atop each branch or twig. Simply stunning. Thanks for your post! Kind regards, Megan
