Michigan as Usual

At 10:30 I could see the Moon through some patch clouds.

Within a few minutes clouds formed a thick opaque layer covering the east/southeast. It was clear to the southwest, west, north, and northeast. The layer of clouds over the Moon was thick enough that they would not even transmit any of the red light from the Moon. I never saw a bit of it nor could you see any sign that it was happening. A Michigan once again comes through in its persistent joy of blocking EVERY celestial event that comes along. If you’re a stargazer stay the hell away from Michigan. However if you love the water and the outdoors it's a great state.

Ditto for Central NY. If you move here, sell the scopes and buy a boat. And I thought Indiana was bad.
