Wolf Moon Jan15Wolf Moon Jan15

The first full moon of January is known as the Wolf Moon, and though it actually reached peak a few minutes before midnight on the Fourth, it was cloudy and I was asleep at the precise moment of maximum fullness. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, it's 99 percent of full tonight so this is as close as I can come. A sliver less than complete, the moon nevertheless is casting a delicious silver glow over the chilly landscape. No wolves a-howling on the ridge, but the coyotes are starting to sound annoyed as the Polar Vortex is poised to make a return visit. There's no hint of orange in this moon... and no sign of warmth. The hounds of the Arctic are poised to roam over the land.
