    The thing to do is hit the road as soon as totality ends or wait hours and have a leisurely dinner and consider staying another night somewhere. Plenty of availability Monday night.

    Eagle Pass is a shit show with the border issues so that part was easy. But yeah this seems way easier logistically and obviously less costly.

    The thing about pulling over is you pretty much have to get out of your car. I think if you can reach a rest area or any exit 30 minutes ahead of totality it can work. Pulling over on 91 is a bit dicey especially with idiots who don’t pull over and look at and take pictures of the eclipse while driving 80 mph.

    FWIW, 18z 3k NAM looks pretty good for northern VT including BTV and Newport.

    My biggest worry is finding parking wherever we end up. If you remember Gallatin in 2017, outside of the immediate area of the park traffic was a breeze on the highways.

    By totality I think you meant center line? The difference is duration of totality so getting as close to the center line is key. I stayed near the Nashville airport in 2017 but spent the eclipse on the center line in Galitin. Either way, as long as its total where you are the show should be great.

    So true. After experiencing totality in 2017 there’s no going back. We’ll see how it plays out but we’re also considering further east like Colebrook. Game day decision.

    I’m glad we’re spending Sunday night in CON. Colebrook, NH is about the same distance in travel time as BTV. Monday AM decision.

    Our plan is to head to Newport, VT-hopefully far enough ne of the approaching high clouds. But high cirrus shouldn’t really be that much of a damper so keep that in mind. Euro cloud algorithm is all high clouds.

    Latest NAM looks great for VT where we’re going unless we have to divert which seems less likely. We’ll be in CON overnight Sunday and follow the sun Monday. 2017 in Gallitin,TN was stupendous. Who’d have thought the northeast would have the best chances but goes to show that you never really know.

    We honed it to northern VT for now. Booked a place in CON Sunday night easing the drive Monday. I’m thinking somewhere in the BTV to St Albans region. Ironically NNE stands to be the sunniest place for this one.

    Sleeting moderately here.

    I was originally planning to go to TX but I decided to bank on a drive knowing I can make a last minute rebook if conditions dictate. We are planning somewhere in the ROC-ERI corridor. New eclipse glasses arrived today.

    I’m not sure about that actually. The Boston burbs often have climo averages in the 50s with decent retention. The city-sure.
  15. weathafella
    Pretty disturbing that Brattleboro doesn’t average much more snow vs BOS.

    I have NOT deployed Roy just yet.

    2018 was mighty wintry.
  18. weathafella
    It’s even cool here relatively. 72 with low dews. Coolest day since we arrived 3/5.

    That was exactly my thinking when I was your age. Three years ago I came down kicking and screaming. This year is so different for me. I think if I rode like you do it might be different but that also gets tougher with advancing age.

    Far from Tampa. Naples is our base. Even the beaches on a warm day are not crowded. The only traffic I’ve been in was when I drove up to RSW to pick up our daughter and bf who came down for the weekend of 3/8. And it was minimal by Boston standards.

    The east coast of Florida is a congested high stress area. We’ve been on the west coast and it’s much more livable. But yeah summer is rough. Besides, New England summers are our crown jewel. I no longer ski and really don’t want to be relegated to an indoor life for months at a time. Boston is also the center of people who think they shit ice cream. It’s tiresome. I am surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed being down here this time. It happens to many of us.
  22. weathafella
    Speaking of Savannah, we’ll be there Friday to Monday-breaking camp from Naples Friday morning-will miss the 80s. Should be home in New England miserable spring wx next Tuesday night. Next winter probably 2-3 months in FL always with the option of flying home for a big snow and returning after the dopamine drip stops as in storm leaves.

    Steve, those eps charts aren’t helpful. If you have extreme outliers it affects the mean too much even with an N of 51. Show us the spaghetti.
  24. weathafella
    We are in that beloved season of temperature talk.
  25. weathafella
    For about 7-10 days then the escalator goes up
