I'm leaving for Cuyahoga Valley right now. Any incoming clouds should just be high level cirrus at this point, so minimal interference 1 minute ago, teef said: Ethering the neighbors would be the ultimate eclipse party favors.

Jauronimo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It just happened in Texas. Mostly cloud coverage here but I got a few glimpses of the edge through the clouds. Pretty uneventful in the 95% coverage zone with how overcast it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) The cloud cover was definitely a downer but we still got to see it quite a few times. We had a great view when it first started shortly after 2pm. Then we got a good view when it was about 1/2 eclipsed, then saw it again for a while when it was about 3/4. Then maybe a dozen times when it was totally eclipsed, but those views only lasted maybe 3-15 seconds each time. The darkness was amazing. Just how quickly it went totally dark, then how quick it got light again 4 minutes later. It was almost like instant sunset and sunrise. So cool! I was not expecting it to be that drastic. Now I see what the hype is about being in the path of totality. Edited April 8 by BillsFan4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed to let you down. Except for Wings. Those we do better than anyone else on earth. I didn’t think much about the eclipse leading up to today. My wife and kids were disappointed. I told her if I knew you were all looking forward to it I would have went somewhere else to watch it. I told her weeks ago it would be cloudy today. I don’t even look at the weather report anymore and I knew it would be cloudy. It’s WNY. It’s an arm pit!
