I did bundle up and go outside for a few minutes to see it but the temp was
just 0 so I wasn't about to stay out too long.  Wind kept blowing up my
jacket and jammie top and it was COLD!! Of course it wasn't the first
eclipse I'd seen so I would just as soon  remember the one we watched in
the late '80s in the heat of July.  We sat on the patio and watched the
whole thing.  We lived on a hill top far from city lights and it was great.

look see  at the moon but I hasten to report in was only my neighbors wife
who  was by then lowering her shade  ;
later we did see the lunar  eclispe; as the disc of the earths shadow
crossed the Moons  landscape I asked wee  Mary to listen and see how still
and quiet nature becomes when this occurs; she did this for all of about 20
seconds  ;then asked if she could go back to watching Hannah Montana
