Lunar Eclipse

I missed the Lunar Eclipse, I thought it was tonight!  To be honest I wouldn't have seen it anyway as the sky is a blanket of white and looks full of snow (forecast for later today).

The total eclipse was at 7.40am this morning coinciding with the winter solstice for the first time in 372 years.  Had there not been cloud cover, then apparently the morning sky would have turned a dark shade of red.
