We have heavy cloud cover now and forecasts show the probability of precipitation at 70% for the the few hours before and after the eclipse.

For those with clouds impairing your vision like here, here's a link to a NASA webcam:
Spacevidcast, Ustream.TV: Making Space Commonplace .

I'm catching glimpses of it. Seems more mysterious with the clouds.

If you don't catch it now, you've got to wait another 372 years before it occurs during the winter solstice again!

Fun fact, this is the real reason, why we celebrate Christmas this time of year. After a total lunar eclipse, pagan religions were celebrating a "new start". It's always a great show. Thanks for the pics and info Harvey!

I saw part of the eclipse. It was a little too early in the morning to be awake enough to enjoy it though!

Jack, that proposition is a rather late one, historically. See a more in-depth review at How December 25 Became Christmas - Biblical Archaeology Review
