April 8th Eclipse- Last Easy One To See In My Lifetime
NorthArlington101 replied to Interstate's topic in Mid Atlantic
Ah, then you are ahead of me. Wouldn’t worry too much, though it probably won’t be a fun drive! Might be ignorance, but I really like to think I’d be okay driving the day of in the early morning hours. Guess maybe I’ll find out! -

I think the only way to go is to leave the night before if you are driving to OH/PA. Even that might be tricky, but hoping it’s plausible. Morning of probably will be more frustrating than it’s worth even if you get there, lol -

My hope with driving is that if I leave at midnight, drive with a partner who can drive back at like 10pm and trade sleeping hours, and just fully commit to a lost day, the driving will be OK. Avoiding daylight hours. Maybe optimistic still lol. -

Plan is still to drive somewhere to the middle of nowhere in Ohio or PA the night before and try and find a spot to hang out. We'll see - am concerned about traffic and weather, but worth a try. -

850s very cold… surface 1-2 degrees Celsius over freezing. Concur with the analysis -

What else is there to do? Wait til our two severe days of the year? Track wildfire smoke? Wait for 25mph wind and light rain from a tropical storm? -
I'm sure they are good at what they do up there but all I can imagine is getting stuck there... it being Donner Pass doesn't help with my concerns lol

I’ve got no proof to back this up but feel like the GEFS has a tendency to be overeager with anafrontal situations. At least to my recollection -
I hear both of these. Seems like a missed opportunity (though maybe this is impossible… I’m out of my depth) to take the successes and find a way to drop the cost. For the first moon landing, a 2022 cost of $176 billion is probably way too much. Human life point is very valid. Think maybe my disbelief we haven’t tried again comes from my personal ignorance of the tragedies that have happened. Wasn’t really alive to watch those on TV. puts a damper on the whole thing for sure.

I don’t get how we haven’t been back to the moon recently. Would be the easiest win ever for whoever managed to push that mission through. I know there are plans that keep getting pushed back, but can’t help but think if you did it in the late 1960s with today’s equivalent of a box of scraps, ya should be able to pull it off today.
