I cannot believe the weather worked out for that.  Like what are the chances.  It could be raining or snowing with a ceiling of 2,000ft very easily.

We all lucked out given the recent pattern and expected pattern over the next week...

There's a total solar eclipse in Iceland in August 2026, considering it?

The GFS says rain for that.

Just now, LibertyBell said:

well before that NASA will be creating artificial solar eclipses, I'm sure.

ESA is working on that already

That was cool. Even at 93% super neat. Will do totality some time.

Not around here unless you're alive in 2079

Got dim here-was cool to see-just some high clouds here and there which is a miracle given the time of year.

Noticeable dimming here

Looks like any significant rain holds off til Thursday night into Friday and isn't looking as bad as it had been

That would be great...every time we dry out a bit it starts anew

The last few days with the earthquake and now the eclipse have been more exciting than the last 2 winters combined.

Watching paint dry was more exciting than the last 2 winters

and you need to be careful. There will be a lot of car accidents. There will be a lot of distracted people a lot of stolen items and pickpockets.

 

If you’re in a crowded area today between three and four, keep your head out of your ass and keep your wits about you

Yep good point. Scammers/petty thieves never miss a chance to strike  I work remotely so I'll step out with my neighbors for a bit.

Are kids off from school in your area? Schools are open here. 

business as usual here in the schools-a few towns in CT letting out early but most are not.

People will enjoy it if they are off from work. Many people work.

yeah but nothing's getting done b/w 3 and 4 today lol...

I'm just a hair over 73 a few minutes west of Danbury.

insanity.   Some places could make a run at 100 if the wet stretch continues

Are people actually taking off for this lol

Sure it's once in a lifetime for many

Again GFS and GEFS mapping out the way to a cool wet summer and if weather systems are situated anything like this we won't be seeing any hurricanes near the east coast. It's early so things could change but idea of an upper low over the northeast and northwest Atlantic is awfully persistent. I gotta hope these maps are as bogus as all the heat the model advertised last August.

WX/PT

Given all the warm water in the NW Atlantic I'd be very surprised at a cool/wet summer....

Brutal opening day for little league. Howling winds and freezing 

Almost a tradition....

It’s interesting how lately it is almost like clockwork that our Aprils are below average for temps and wetter than average. 

Yeah when have we ever seen a +8 April?

Next Wednesday Thursday and Friday looks wet.

Massive cutter.  But with the blocking breaking down I doubt it's 3 days

RGEM and CMC show some clouds but partly sunny, GFS is cloudier

I was standing up, 2nd floor of my office here in Long Valley and we most definitely felt it. Pretty much evacuated the building the moment it was over. 

 

Of course my friend in California is making fun of us. 

haha--yeah you were closer to it so probably more evident there vs here....
