N/S Moon in December

This morning [Dec 9] in Italy my wife called me to have never seen the moon so high NNW 340°, at 8:10 AM. I measured with digital compass, while sky map gave WNW 304°. Absurd! The Earth turned again! I confirm that point is 340° at noon (no filter, right). Ciao

Just look up and see the moon [Dec 8], ain’t right, up here it’s low, high, new path every night here in Canada. I know it changes, but it’s drastic change, you really can’t but notice, just have to look up, that’s all. A couple of diagrams I did up.
