We’ve had some ice chunks but this is the first day it’s been frozen this season at my place. Saw some freighters out there last night but that might be the last of them for a little while. Turning into a tundra out here.
Comparison to my last picture. Been under the bands nothing super impressive but I’m still in heaven and grateful to have anything at all. The ultimate thread the needle finally being on the west side of the lake has been beneficial.
I don’t mean to rub it in. Just this never happens to me (or any of us I know). I’m just so happy and I only have you dorks to share it with so humor me lol
Under a good band here right now. Small flakes but pretty heavy. Roads covered now. Tough to forecast these LES events but so far they seem pretty spot on.
I’m fortunate enough to live directly on the lake but am still so jealous of those on the Michigan side. Every time I see them getting LES I cry a little bit.
Hey guys… not from this sub forum but happened to be in the area. Almost got ran over by the Lincoln, NE tornado. not chasing just driving through. Apologies for the freak out I’m more of a casual weather fan and have never seen a tornado in real life before. Legit thought I was going to take a direct hit. Anyway just thought I’d share.
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.
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.
