I was too tired to go get the camera, but I wondered if I should use
flash or not at the time I had the thought of taking a
picture. Didn't happen, and so it's lost in time forever. Sorry.
The question is: is the moon full right now or partially? I'm too
tired to go look outside right now. :) Cuz 2 days ago if the snow
was glowing for any other reason, I'm going to have to look into
this. At least 6 kids ended up in my yard having a snow fight in the
glowing snow.
Somebody near East Texas please tell me they saw it too. The town's
power was off, so there was no "city lights" effect here.
I do remember telling the kids... "don't eat that snow! the cloud
might have passed over a chemical plant" heheheh We have the Kodak
chemical plant in Longview. It's a HUGE plant the size of a small
town in itself.
