Could see the Watches extended into your area for sure.

Wow. Must be expecting the NEK to be completely shadowed.

There’s a decent NNE contingency, I feel like it’s stronger than it has been in past years with a couple of the new posters too.  But post count has dropped quite a lot since those Dec 1992 runs.

I think you’re right but some of us are checked out, well, I am. I’m ready for golf.

Why travel, just set up some chairs in your backyard and get a case a beer.

I guess I just want to make sure I experience totality. That was my first thought but then I started looking closely and noticed how close I was.

Since I live in the Plymouth NH area I know the backroads pretty well.  Take 93 up to Plymouth.  Get off and go west on Rt 25.  Head up on the NH side of the Connecticut River.  Then take one of the bridges over to Rt 5 or Rt 91 into the St Johnsbury area.  Then decide how far north or west you want to go to get into a longer and darker eclipse.  This will be a darker eclipse vs 2017 as the path of totality is wider.  Unfortunately for travelers the center line is near Canada. On the edge of totality is interesting however as the Diamond Ring and Bailey's Beads last much longer.  As I say over and over.  A 99% partial and a 100% total is like the difference between kissing someone and marrying them.  Oh, another idea.  There are lots of small businesses in the path of totality.  Pick where you want to go and call one of them in advance.  Ask if you can park in their lot and tell them you are even willing to throw them a few bucks their way.  Or  bring them a small gift, like a couple of 6 packs of beer.  With that in mind they might let you use their bathrooms as potty break as bathrooms and gas  are going to be hard to find.  This is all weather dependant of course. 

The edge of totality is almost literally over my head. I’m not sure how far NW I’ll drive to get into it.

Ya it’s a much different system than last weekends. If I had to guess I’d say the winners will be further south than the last one

Oh how we pray. 

I don’t know a lot about ski area operations but I bet they looked at how much money they make early vs April. No excuse for the lack of communication though.

Good news is after that storm next week all guidance has big pig east coast ridge and warmth . Would be early taste of summer for a few days and timed perfectly for the eclipse.

Boy it would be nice if you were correct for once.

These temps sort of sum up the entire winter.  And are what we see for the next week or two.

But we were told that spring in New England is usually pleasant now.

I thought about bringing a 5 gallon gas can too, but probably just going to fill up about an hour before arriving, maybe in Bradford or Woodville. 

If you’re on 91, P&H Truckstop in Wells River might be the easiest to access. Great homemade bread and other baked goods too.

To many obstacles to navigate after the warmth the first part of the month, I'm done no matter if anything else falls, Not many clubs still grooming here.

The trails that got opened here were mobbed, yesterday and today. Of course I couldn’t go either day. Typical.
