April 8th Eclipse- Last Easy One To See In My Lifetime
NorthArlington101 replied to Interstate's topic in Mid Atlantic
was expecting the girlfriend to go -- offered to my mom to take her place and spare me a solo drive. She wasn't down w/ the sleeping arraignments... a single queen lol. that said, she ended up regretting not going. Working towards convincing them for a family (read: less expensive for me) Spain 2026 trip -

Climo - cold. And I assume cloudy. I’m growing interested in Egypt 2027. Six minutes of totality near Luxor. Hmmm… -

Unsurprisingly I think we took the same route back. I also got detoured into Youngstown. I guess we’ll never know if that was Waze being smart or too smart for its own good. It did good getting me off 270 for the 4th lane closure of the day. -

lessons for 2045 (writing these for myself) - cirrus clouds are fake - don’t worry about them. - probably want to spend the day before and the day after there - pre-eclipse traffic is fake. Post-eclipse traffic is more real - can watch from anywhere. Doesn’t matter where… just go - if you want to film a video to show others, try and avoid crying of awe in the background lol -

17 hours of driving in 36 hours later. Worth it - though I wouldn’t do it again if it was tomorrow haha -

More high clouds than I’d like in Mansfield, but I have little doubt the sun will stay visible… knock on wood. -

We’re off. Already stunning - forgot how cool even a partial looks. -

NorthArlington101 replied to Interstate's topic in Mid Atlantic
3 minutes til partial and echo the low clouds - but still probably only 50/50 in coverage. Will be sketchy for a perfect totality but beggars can’t be choosers. Looks good off just eyeballing the sky to my SW - so here’s hoping. -

NorthArlington101 replied to Interstate's topic in Mid Atlantic
I realize I said satellite looked “perfect” but don’t think there is anyway around the high clouds. Remember reading something on some weenie tweet that the eclipse might help dissipate some of those anyways. Regardless, not seeing any mid- or low- level clouds. Found my people in the Wal-Mart lot and am snacking on Takis -

Satellite looks fantastic. Tempted to get a half hour further down the road to make coming back easier but would be mad if that somehow screwed me, so holding tight. Now just very antsy, if you can’t tell lol.
