Lunar eclipse was a bust in Austin

Anyone else out there have any luck seeing the rare event? Lunar eclipses happen from time to time but not during the Winter Solstice. NPR said it was the first in 400 years.

Despite my recovering health, I took an early evening nap (as I often do watching TV, how I love turning into my old man) and made an effort to see the initial signs around midnight Central time. The Austin area was completely covered in clouds so I gave up and went to bed. If I were well, I would’ve gotten up to try again around 2 or 3 AM.

Those of my friends who did get to see it, please post in the Comments section. I’m curious.
