Snow Dusting But The Sun Is Back!

A little dusting of snow last night
Quickly re-covered the world in white
Though it took a while, the sun won out
And, the temp is rising fast, now mud about
But, for cloud lovers you've not long to wait
Tomorrow sun seekers, won't be feelin' great
As another big storm with lots of rain
Comes rolling our way... again
And, then comes the COLD, nasty cold
Shirtless football fans, hypothermic not bold
Will the eclipse be visible here
Clouds, cold, timing, still unclear
But, we'll all be taking quick, little peaks
Get ready, more cold coming next two weeks
But it is winter...

And, Earth's still shaking
Across Pacific 6.0 quaking
Off Meso-America and Vanuatu
With 5ish in Indonesia and Japan, too
Just another day on the shaky world

No USGS/SI volcano list, government shut
Still 2+ dozens eruptions worldwide, what!!
And, that doesn't include the erupting Chump
Spewing lies, vitriol & evil out of his large rump
The Earth's still a wild planet in space
Carefree about humans or what's taking place
And, the moon's getting bigger and brighter
And, actually to Earth getting tighter
Very close for Sunday's eclipse
Hope it's not something you miss

The details for Eastern Time Zone
Good pics, camera on tripod, not a phone
Partial begins at 10:34
Take a peak out your door
Got an hour before totality begins at 11:41
But, checking partiality regularly will be fun
Totality ends at 12:44
Full moon brightness grows once more
Not out of umbral shadow till 1:51
Will be butt cold by then, son!!
Just how red will the moon be?
We're all going to have to wait and see.
Until then, happy Earth wandering
Good day to go meandering!
Today On Earth.

Today's Waxing Gibbous Moon

 What a handsome dog!!
Rascal!!
