Clear night in my location. The moon looked really "smokey" until after midnight. You couldn't see the details or the red color until after midnight, it was just a really smokey, hazy grey color.

The moon never looked really large like it did in the southern locations. Just the usual size.

No pictures as I didn't have my camera on me while I was driving.
