Buffalo Bumble Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Posted this in my regional thread (upstate NY). Thought Tip might enjoy with his "cosmically induced screw job" leanings... Finally an 80 degree plus day with full sun here. Feels like the first one of the summer, absolutely nothing could put a dimmer on this day. Oh wait, 60% of the sun is now disappearing behind the moon, and temp is falling.... Don't really care, just kind of funny that it seems nature is doing everything in its power this summer to avoid sun/heat by whatever means available.

Kind of neat to be standing in the sun and feel basically no warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all the sudden you couldn't really feel it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Ha ...yeah... zactly. welp - we got our 64.4 % max mag here... Have to say the air was dimmed a little, not by much but noticeable. 7 years and we go 96.6 with that one - BUF-BTV transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice with high pressure, clear skies, low dews, and some snow cover. Looks like similar timing to this one. We could get a nice drop with that if everything lined up correctly. Let's throw in an aurora too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Note to self 67% is not as much as you think, perhaps that is why below 70 was a failing grade. Not getting the whole leaf thing either. We meh, 1970 was way cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Temp drop of about 3F here. Afternoon sun seems like a November afternoon. I wonder what if you took a 40% sun output with the degree above the horizon it is on August 21rst and compared it to peak solar output on a winter day how we would compare?. Guess this is all astronomy questions. Okay, now we can look forward to April 8 2024. How will the weather be on that day. Nice 90% partial eclipse for SNE for that one and a total up north!

That is why even 99% coverage is much brighter than people think. All and all this was a great weather day for the eclipse. Couldn't ask for much more taking a 3000 mile transit across the country!

We had about 70% in Austin...there was no noticeable dimming at all. But it was cool to look through the solar glass that someone had and see it partially covered. This one will probably be similar in MA today....I'd like to chase the 2024 eclipse in Texas (I have zero faith we will have clear skies in Northern New England). It was 71.4% here and it got dim here. Almost like looking out of a car with tinted windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
