See it! High tides and winter storms

High tides followed Monday's supermoon, as Storm Eleanor plowed into Europe. Then a "bomb cyclone" hit the U.S. East Coast. Photos here showing winter's power and terrible beauty.

See it! Dance of the morning planets

Don't miss the planets Mars and Jupiter in your predawn sky this weekend. Their conjunction is Sunday morning, when they'll be only half a moon-diameter apart. Photos here.

How deep is your snow?

It's really hard to measure snowfall accurately. The National Weather Service relies on more than 8,000 volunteers with rulers.

Where's the moon? Waning gibbous

You'll find the moon rising late at night, and, if you look closely, you might catch it in a blue daytime sky, in the west after sunrise.

See it! Dance of the morning planets

On Sunday morning, the very bright planet Jupiter and fainter, reddish planet Mars will be in conjunction. Also look for the star Zubenelgenubi near them, and bright reddish Antares - Heart of the Scorpion in the constellation Scorpius - below them.
