Very possible actually. There was definitely a lower layer you could definitely be correct. Looked cool anyway. Only lasted for about 5min.

Can anyone tell me what I just saw over Lake Michigan? Genuinely asking. Waterspouts? Scud clouds. Something else? Genuinely curious I’m not as bright as most of you in here lol

Seriously, I didn’t understand why 100% would be so much of a difference compared to 99%. But having now experienced it, I get it. Like you, I would literally travel abroad to see it again. Incredible experience.

Wow wow wow. I understand now why people say you just have to experience it. And the difference between 99% and 100% is just literally night and day. Absolutely amazing experience. Ended up just south of New Castle, IN right over totality. It’s something I’ll never forget. This is a picture a friend took through a telescope. Anyone who saw it will tell you that you could see that solar flare on the bottom. So worth the traffic mess after. I’d experience it again in a heartbeat.

Targeting New Castle, IN. Will make adjustments by tomorrow morning but that’s my spot as of now.

Decided to take a random timelapse this evening and happened to catch the trailing end of cloud cover moving out over the lake. I thought it was kinda cool but then again I’m a dork.

Lake slowly starting to freeze. Just in time for things to warm up.

Been getting rather frequent frost/ice quakes here in Kenosha next to the lake where we got quite a bit of rain with the last system and only a few inches on the ground. Something I’ve never experienced before. Have had them the past two nights. So that’s kinda cool. Sometimes as many as a half dozen or more per hour in the early morning hours. Silver lining to this nastiness.

Switched to rain here in Kenosha. Hopefully it’ll change back soon. Wind is ripping off the lake tho

Light accumulating snow in Kenosha. Good start.

I’ve lived on the lake for the past 5 years or so. This is the first time we’re going into mid January and I’ve seen no ice at all. Not even on the rocks of the shoreline. Would be interested if anyone has a link to data reflecting ice cover on Lake Michigan by year as a comparison. I’m sure it’s not super rare I’m only speaking from my 5 years living here which is why I’d be interested in seeing some longer term data.

Walked into a Reddit AMA

The last system gave me PTSD here in SE Wisconsin near the lake. At least this shouldn’t be a total rainer but it’s still really going to cut into the totals on the lakeshore again and keeping me anxious. If it pleases the crown, may I please have a few inches before the deep freeze?
