How far south do you see this line moving?

I'm departing a cruise sun evening from NYC.

Edit. .. looks like I could be in for a light show once it gets dark. Nice.

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.

Really wanted to travel and see it, but my one option won’t be home.   hoping to see something pretty awesome regardless down here. Hopefully I’m around in 2044 lol.

You. Only. Live. Once.

And thensome? 
 
 

Nick the dick. Love it.

I'd kinda like to see Tom Hanks so another comedy. Bachelor party was outstanding, and some of those scenes in the money pit were hysterical.

Snowing pretty good here ATM. Much better then the peltage from last night.

Just confirmed my reservations in Magog, QC. 3:28 in darkness, weather still looks good. About 10 miles from the centerline. Looks like a pretty cool little town. Anybody ever been?

About to be dry slutted.

Lol the school doesn't want the liability for kids pulling a trump and looking at the eclipse without proper PPE, so they're letting the parents ( who may not yet be home from work) assume that responsibility.

Lol

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.

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.

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.

Mega lol......OK I'm not too worried yet for Dallas......

Yeah I need to not look at this for a week...

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...

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.

There was a tree down on 91 on my way into work in Greenfield. Missed it by mere inches.

Pretty good wind here for the past 15 minutes.

Holy shit. I see a flake or 2 out there!

Lol.

This storm can fu ck right off now.

Yup. I literally just wrote and then deleted the mother of all meltdowns. I had to think better of it. Even if I have no snow, I still have my pride.

Honing in on a solution.  Looking pretty damn good %wise

E2 or e40 please.

Just got done driving home from the southern Maine Coast. Pretty cool to see how truly elevation dependent this snow is.

That being said, I'm higher up than Fitchburg, but they've got more snow.

Being the weenie that I am, I take solace in the fact that while areas closer to the coast may sometimes jackpot over areas in the far interior, I retain snow better. Prior to today's snow, I had only some exposed patches of lawn. Probably 80% coverage. Fitchburg, Leominster, 495? Bare ground...

00z GFS is another AstronomyEnjoyer basement special for this coming Monday. Also some Provincetown love in there? 

I'll take that... Still a ways to go though

Road conditions are just terrible in Franklin County right now.

Was hoping we'd get another decent burst, but it looks like that back edge is falling apart quickly.

When powder freak mentioned that his band fell apart, I thought it was a possibility. Now it seems a certainty.

Oh well ...

Montague had 15 inches? Or is that report suspicious?

Fake news.

Berkshire East looking paltry on the snow so far. 

Wow. They did worse than we did.
