CT Rain

My parents drove to Danville, VT to a brewery I found online. I told them to leave right after totality and they managed to hit no traffic at all coming down 91. Made it back to New Haven in like 4 hours. In Dallas there was no traffic either… seems like everyone who worked downtown stayed home. No rush hour and just the coolest of vibes.

What a day. it also seemed better than 2017 to me!

Completely cleared out in Dallas for totality. The cu field went poof and miraculously had no cirrus! Just an absolutely exceptional experience.

I have no idea how my flight tomorrow is going to take off given the severe weather expected!

My parents are driving up to St. J this morning. I told them to get on 91 as soon as it’s over. Hopefully they don’t get stuck forever coming back to CT!

This was my view in 2017 in Sullivan's Island, SC.

New moon goon!

Someone who gets excited for a 940mb low on satellite off Newfoundland finds viewing a total eclipse in person as boring.

Looks like a decent cirrus deck there. Hopefully we get some breaks but who knows how that will shake out until the day of. I'll be happily surprised!

The difference between 99.5% and 100% is enormous. It's like night and day. Looking pretty cloudy for me but maybe I'll get lucky. Who knows lol

1970 was only a total solar eclipse on Nantucket. I saw 2017 in person in South Carolina on Sullivan's Island. I was excited for it but the experience completely blew me away. I used to think the people that called it a spiritual experience were overly dramatic but it truly was.

You haven't been in totality then.

Hmmmmmmm

Yeah liftline was fogged in and misty but Lord and those other blues on the side were completely sunny. Was nice to get some sun.

Today turned into an awesome day at Stowe with a really cool undercast and soft snow. Could have used some wax on my skis lol
