  1. The white rain has turned to flakes in Simsbury. About an hour ago in Westfield we had a gust move through with a wall of slush. It was enough to collect on the highway briefly. Last gasp of winter?
    White rain / cat paws in the ct River valley from Deerfield to the VT line. 37F.

  2. Yikes! I can't go anywhere near that shit if I want to breath. Total poison. They're the candles of the fast food world... like McDs!
    Lol. I work in the plant that makes them... Don't even notice it anymore.

  3. I'm shoveling about 4" here in Bernardston. I could probably use the leaf blower for it and only shovel by the road where the plow compacted it.

    Absolute fluff. 19F.

  4. Also heading to Newport, leaving before 6, car is fueled and cooler is packed.  Bike is in the trunk.  Hoping to get to the event at Prouty Beach.  
    I'll be looking down at you from the north end of the lake.

    Chilling currently in Magog, QC.

  5. Yeah I'm nervous about that too, but YOLO rules very much apply lol
    I figure adding 1.5 hours to normal drive time would make it. Obviously will also fill up on gas and stage southbound before eclipse.
    I was in Gallatin TN north of Nashville for 2017, easily one of the most breathtaking things I've ever seen... traffic heading back to airport wasn't that bad actually.
     
    Nice.

    My plans are starting to narrow, but still very much up in the air. I'll go anywhere from Houlton to the OH/IN border, but looks better here.

    If I had to make a decision right now, I probably wouldn't venture too far off 91 myself. Kinda partial to Magog, QC at the moment. I like Magog Bay Park, facing SW on the beach, overlooking the lake.

    Also would love to be on the Canadian side of Niagara falls, but that'll be a complete shit show.

  6. So helpful, really appreciate the local knowledge!
    And great idea to look at sunny distant hills from within totality.
    We'll be on a tight schedule to get back to Boston by 8pm:yikes:, so I'm planning to stage on southbound direction (or just near an on-ramp) on I-91. And planning to just pull over on side of road (or even on southbound I-91) if necessary. I imagine I won't be the only one pulling over on the interstate.
    Back by 8pm Monday night? Fingers crossed for you. Not sure that can happen tbh.

  7. Anyone in BTV area.. where is a good location for this where there won’t be thousands of people ? I’m heading up Sunday afternoon on a “work” trip. Any ideas would be appreciated 
    I was kinda serious. If I knew it would be sunny, and I wasn't planning on trying to take pictures with a tripod, I'd be on their solar eclipse cruise.

    This is probably your best shot at not being around anybody in the Burlington area.3498207746ef3fc9fb04057de944f8bd.jpg

  9. My wife thinks I'm crazy for wanting to fill up a 5gal gas can to bring with us. She doesn't want to be stuck in a car that smells like gas.

    I don't want to be stuck in a car that doesn't smell like gas because we're empty...

  10. I had glasses from 2017 but ordered more for the family so nobody would fight over them......I ordered them Friday and they came today......so you got time.....
    I got them from https://www.3dglassesonline.com/
    Probably paid too much but whatever........I still had the ones I bought 7 years ago and ordered 3 more for the family this time......can't wait....
     
    Test out your glasses ahead of time, l hear there's a lot of fakes being sold. No sense in blinding your family.
