Dark moon rising

[mdlbear]

The moon is about 2/3 into the umbra now, but fuzzy behind clouds. Which will cover it first is an open question. I had some good views of it on my drive home.

We're about halfway through totality right now (I live pretty close to mdlbear) and it's been varying from heavy to light cloud cover but never totally clear. It's definitely reddish, with the right side of the moon brighter than the left side, but while I'll keep checking I don't see any clear patches in the sky that might make for better viewing.
