Iskaral Pust Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 We’ll have a ~90% eclipse here, which IIRC is about the same as the one I saw in Chicago a few years ago (2017?). But now it’s forecast to be overcast here tomorrow afternoon, so overall sounds like not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartIheartTesla Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Forecasts have been trending towards warmer temperatures and clearer skies here in mid-Michigan, so it should be great viewing. Looking forward to even the partial eclipse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Clear skies here in Burlington right now, but I see a pretty thick cloud banknoff to the west and heading this way. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It was cloudy all morning but I just got home after doing some running around and, mirabile dictu, there’s a partly sunny sky above my house! I may get to see that 99.8% eclipse after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 People standing around, sitting around, trying to figure out how to wear their eclipse glasses that are being sold all over the place. Nothing is going to start here for quite a while yet. Also, clouds are around . . . . We supposedly get 85-90% here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Sun looks like a pissed-off Pacman from where I'm sitting, in the path of totality. Tears of Lys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Ha! Its cleared up the last 15 minutes! I knew making a sacrifice to the sky god would pay off. Lord of Oop North 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRider Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Clear skies in North California, I saw a partial eclipse with a pinhole camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertrude Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I've been popping out to observe it here (80%) and this last time right before peak you could really notice the difference in daylight and temp and the owls are hooting. Love it. Not as cool as a total eclipse, but still pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears of Lys Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Even with the slightly overcast sky, I could still see the eclipse with the glasses. It got VERY dark here in SE Michigan. An old lady didn't know what was going on and was slightly panicked by it until someone explained it to her. Very cool! ETA: I really wanted to take a picture of it, but didn't know what setting my phone should be on to get the best shot. I guess I could have put the glasses over the lens, which I just thought of now.

Lord of Oop North Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The cloud cover was bad, but in the last 10-15 minutes it cleared up a lot and we could see if through our glasses. But once it went total, cloud cover again. Total night was pretty cool. Fragile Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 It didn't get dark here, also clouds came and went, but around the most obscured minutes, the light turned -- odd. It was fun though, to see so many people of every sort focused on the same thing for the same reasons, enjoying it, and being in good humor. It takes a major sidereal event to bring us together, I guess. Tears of Lys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone out and about at once. Zorral 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 That was one of the most memorable and beautiful things I've ever experienced. It got noticeably colder, was able to see Venus and Jupiter. Wonderful. Fragile Bird, Gertrude, Mr. Chatywin et al. and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
