I was prob gonna do it anyway, but watching the live feeds today and seeing the pics cemented my decision to chase in Texas in 2024. That one should be a doozy...about 4 and a half minutes of totality there and 3+ minutes in NNE. But the climo really sucks in our neck of the woods for that one...early April...ugh. At least we can have a decent idea 3-5 days away whether we're looking at a sprawling high or unsettled wx since it's still mostly synoptic season. We don't have to worry cirrus debris from some emaciated OH valley MCS screwing it up. Of course if it looks like a CAD setup forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting a little rolling of the eyes when listening to the talk of this, but the live shots in the areas that had totality were just awesome. I would put this as something on the list of cool things to witness before kicking the bucket. Ryan said while it got dark at CHS, there was a tstm spitting out CGs just inland from him. That had to be incredible to see. Sounds like a cool thing to do with the kiddo in 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had this eclipse on my calendar for decades, and my mother still lives in Nashville, so the wife and I drove down to see her, and more importantly, a total eclipse. I had picked out a city park on the northern edge of Nashville, where a cedar glade meadow covers acres on high ground, with 2:21 of totality. We arrived at 11 AM, and dozens of mostly locals had already spread out in the shade of a cedar stand. Over the next couple hours, hundreds more arrived. We moved out of the shade and into the meadow with about 15 minutes to go before totality. The rapidly ebbing light gave a feeling of total unreality - colors changed, everything became bizarrely washed-out. Then totality came. All around us we heard screams of elation but also of shock. Someone's dog went into a panic and started sprinting away in confused loops. There was a deafening roar of crickets. Thousands of tiny flying gnats rose up just above our heads. The eclipse itself was the most extraordinary thing I have ever seen. It was like a late sunset, but in every direction at the same time, and the sight of the corona surrounding the black circle of the moon literally stunned me. The amazing fisheye image above captures the scene far better than anything else I have come across, but no photo seems to be able to show just how huge the moon appeared inside the corona, a black hole right in the middle of a star. I'm hooked. 2024 will be astounding. My brother is in San Antonio and we are already planning our visit, this time with the baby girl that we are expecting in January. Forget bargaining away a HECS; I'd cash in an entire winter for one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the camera automatically stops down so you really don't notice any change in brightness but the Cu sure went fast! https://video.nest.com/clip/ec4a8aea94c14a1e96ea1c6f02a771ad.mp4 you can see it getting a little darker about 2/3 through the video loop. pretty cool stuff.

dendrite Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I was interested if chickens would go to roost. From the couple of accounts I saw, they just stood around in their run. Saw one story where fish started hopping out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every morning has been into the 50s here and yesterday got tempered by the eclipse. Another 24hrs and summer gets a spine fracture. Yesterday's high of 82F here was the warmest since the first four days of the month. This is about the warmest it seems to get this summer. Low of 56F this morning with the usual <1sm fog/mist was one of the warmer mornings recently. Getting a day of 86-88F up here (which seemed to happen relatively frequently in recent summers) is like pulling teeth this year. Hottest stretch was still in June with like a few days of 87-89F during that one legit heatwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June maxed at 88, July at just 81, and 83 so far this month (which I expect to hold serve.) Big heat all done by June 13, unless Sept has a surprise.

Ginx snewx Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 The present doesn't predict the future but looking around outside it's definitely a different kind of Mid August look. Sudden dullness to the foliage, some swamp maples starting to turn. Will be interesting how the rest of August and the fall shake out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 this may be the last day it gets this way ...it may not be... but it's 90/71 at several interior locales with an hour or two left of heating under only sparse fleeting CU field... Could be 91 or even 92 ... It's a roaster officially - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
