Special moon this weekend

[DesertNate]

Yeah, I'm in New Mexico. Please explain these "clouds". Do they interfere with photography? Are they an outdoor thing?
I'll shoot a few shots of Portra 160 at the moon and see if I can find one.

Here in Charlotte, we have the inevitable "isolated evening thunderstorms" forecast - no telling if I'll be able to see the moonrise or not. But I'll try!

Please explain these "clouds".

What are clouds?

Clouds are the things that bring snow. Snow is the white stuff that causes people in New Mexico to rock back-and-forth in fetal position while whimpering "cold, cold, cold". Cold is when the temperature drops below 85 degrees and all of Albuquerque orders hot chocolate and electric blankets.

So, clouds are hot chocolate.

Hardy har, it gets cold as hell here in Santa Fe in the winter, usually hovering around freezing for daytime highs. But you must understand, it's still always sunny, until we wake up with a foot of snow and then drive, in the sun again, up to the ski basin 30 minutes out of town and shred up some powder. It's a weird place...

What are clouds?

They are those little white streaks you see in the sky on days when everyone is complaining about the humidity.

Santa Fe is always windy too, and cold with wind make it really nasty there.

Well I always just thought it was the people that were full of wind...

I'm in Beijing. What is this "moon" thing you keep talking about?

In PA we occasionally see a large flaming ball in the daytime sky. Is this the nighttime version? How does one go about shooting this moon thing, if we can see such a thing?

Ended up last night having unusual access to a fantastic vantage point from the penthouse of the Standard Hotel-East Village in Cooper Square with a wraparound veranda providing views facing North, East, and West of New York City shrouded in fog and clouds. A few interesting shots of that, yes, but the moon was nowhere to be seen. Interesting company, at least, and an open bar, so it wasn't a total loss.
