I once ready a story about the moon being very bright and it was casued by the sun going supernova. The people on the dark side did not know that the people on the day side were melting =). Eventually it got them all as night became day.
The bright moon was the first indication to one scientist on the night side that something was wrong etc... I think he met some lady and told her about it and then had sex and hid in some house and lived through it. For the life of me I cannot rememeber were I read that..

onight the moon looks way bigger than usual and it's so bright, that it hurts looking at it, and it even beats some street lights in reflecting light off the streets.
This is from North America by the way.
Can anyone explain this phenomenon?

I am guessing the moon was probably around the horizon. Our brain tend to perceive things around the horizon bigger than any point in the sky. They even have a name of this phenomenon, but I don't remember it off hand.
Brightness depends on many issues, clouds, smoke, sunlight, pollution, etc.
I doubt this is anything but normal, so no need to worry.

What cold... -20 C with "mild" northern wind is perfect weather!
