Here is a 2:22 minute video of the Full Flower Moon from last night. You can see how quickly the moon moves through the frame. I'm not sure if the shimmering is from trying to focus on the moon as it moves or from the atmosphere? The music is named "Moonglow." 5/1/26. @WCCOShaffer @ChrisReeceWX @BelindaJensenMN

A dog pooping in the fridge is shocking.

Waking up to 8 inches of snow when the forecast called for maybe half that.
