On another note, I think God reads my blog. It snowed in Nashville last night. While it was only a dusting in this Yankee's opinion, I'll take what I can get.

Science Friday - White Edition
There will be a Harper's moon in the sky tonight. In fact, it will be the biggest Harper's moon of the entire year. The moon's average distance from Earth is about 238,855 miles, but tonight it will be only 221,560 miles away (due to the elliptical shape of it's orbit). This means that the moon will appear approximately 14% larger and 30% brighter than the other full moons of 2008.

I read that about the moon. I thought maybe there was a chance I would get to see it, it was very sunny this morning. You know what they say about the weather in Cincinnati. Half an hour after the kids and I went out to run errands the clouds rolled in. I'm sure it will be beautiful, just not here.
Will the moon's distance during Harper impact gravity?
I think it probably will have an effect on gravity. I know that the tides will be slightly higher than usual.
Elaine I must say that when it snowed thursday night I thought of you because I had just hopped on your blog earlier that day.
Oh yes, God is listening and apparently reading your blog :)
