I may as well run outside tonight and see if I can spot it (assuming the sky is clear)

This is also occurring on the winter solstice; these two events haven't coincided for 456 YEARS

It's pretty clear out right now. Got a good view from my deck.

I've been trying to practice taking pictures but I think the moon is just too far away for my camera.

Not true. Last one in 1638 which was 372 years ago.

Answered my own question. Wiki has a pic from the moon during a lunar eclipse and everything does appear red.

Cool.

I went out to take a look and maybe get some pictures, it wasn't worth it, the clouds have rolled in and the moon is pretty much the size of a penny and muddy brown.

What a let down.

Only decent pic I got before the clouds came . . . through the skylight . . . I'm too sick right now to be hanging out outside.

Nice and deep orange/red here in Toronto. Perfectly clear night. Slight shadow over it.
