Blue Moon ttonight

There is going to be a blue moon on New Year's Eve 2009. The blue moon is an unexpected treat for New Year's Eve 2009, and will fill the night sky for most of the nation to watch. A blue moon isn't exactly what it sounds like unless you are looking at it under exactly the right light. Rather, a blue moon is the term used to describe the second full moon that happens in the same calendar month. The December 2009 Blue Moon for New Year's Eve will be the first time since 1990 that the occurrence has taken place.

Hi Kathey,


So I can use that expression "once in a blue moon" appropriately today! That is really cool. We are supposed to have rain this afternoon, but I think it will clear out tonight. Maybe I'll get to see that blue moon. Thanks for the heads-up.


Hugs,


Melissa

If it isn't bitterly cold I might even stick my nose out to take a peek at the 'blue moon' tonight, Kathey.

It is about ten degrees tonight and I am not going to stand outside staring at the moon; I don't care what color it is (l).

I don't get my free calendars since doing by banking online. I should stop in Monday and see if they have any left.

Too cold for me to go outside. Maybe there will be pictures on TV.

I was telling dh about it on the way home from dinner. I was disappointed because of the clouds, we couldn't see it.

I braved the below zero air and went outside to look for it.
