it was big here too, in NH... Anyway maine triker, the earth spins right? so does the moon right? well they spin at roughly the same speed, so every 90 years there is obviously some phase the moon goes through when it's closer to earths orbit...
i'll leave all the astro-physcitist calcualtions up to you man...lol
