Who is going to try and see the eclipse today?

8:19 am

MollyL

Fun fact: Petroglyphs found in County Meath, Ireland, may be our earliest records of an eclipse; they date back to 3340 B.C.

8:28 am

ChampFit

Annoyed that reco4 isn't a word. Seems like painters do that all the time.

8:34 am

Shirlockc

eclipse = me!!!!!! got the glasses, it's 90% here in NYC, thought about driving somewhere for 100% but traffic

8:34 am

Shirlockc

phantom: infertile

8:35 am

Shirlockc

everything in NYC is traffic related in some way

8:47 am

MollyL

They are predicting immense traffic jams in prime viewing places

8:48 am

Shirlockc

one reason why i'm not driving anywhere, going up to the roof of my building, would be v good spot

8:57 am

mkg

Shirl i hope youy see it. Take photos.

8:58 am

We went to kentucky for last one and it was an amazing experience. It got very dark and birds stopped chirping and the quiet was amazing.

9:02 am

amelu0218

Was in the path of totality in the May 1984 event. Crickets and frogs woke up and birds got quiet. Pretty darn cool.

9:03 am

MollyL

Um, you have to have a very expensive camera to get decent eclipse photos. Your cell phone won't cut it.

9:03 am

amelu0218

of course, it's overcast and drizzling rain today, lol

9:05 am

MollyL

Also, just as viewing the eclipse without proper protection will damage your eyes, it can damage the lens of a camera.

9:17 am

rururocks

9:57 am

rururocks

who knows.. he's a putin puppet

9:58 am

saanichcat

if NATO doesn't step in yes he definitely will

10:00 am

10:06 am

rururocks

10:07 am

saanichcat

aaggh no, he is all yours

10:07 am

doseffing

... you made a star out of him ... you keep him ... besides we have enough drummers without him ...

10:09 am

doseffing

... and that coat he wore to the NHL All Star game ... only an American crossing the border at Niagara in July and asking where the good skiing was would wear a coat that made them look like an orange Michelin man....

10:11 am

saanichcat

it's really funny to see people drive up here in the summer with skis. The great white north.

10:19 am

labecs

I like you Ru. Thanks for being a smart and good human being. I detest DFG.

10:22 am

saanichcat

12:16 pm

dan2bit

there's nothing like it - we got a glimpse in 2017 down in Charleston, and then the heavens opened and it was a huge thundering downpour

12:17 pm

dan2bit

made me understand why people assume cataclysm :-)

12:17 pm

penquis

hope your weather is better this time...

12:17 pm

penquis

didn't want to drive....thousands of cars on the roads here headed north....

12:17 pm

dan2bit

same, though we're safely at my in-laws since Saturday

12:18 pm

MollyL

I agree Pen. I have no use for crowds or jammed highways.

12:18 pm

penquis

nice....i am just driving two miles to my sister in law's around 2:00....

12:19 pm

penquis

towns of 1000 are expecting 10,000....roads and facilities are just not up for that....

12:20 pm

MollyL

The Solar Telescope Feed is fun to watch. The moon is on the move.

12:21 pm

penquis

12:22 pm

dan2bit

12:23 pm

MollyL

Oh, isn't someone going to say "groovy"?

12:23 pm

penquis

12:23 pm

equally excited to be skipping 2 days of school, probably

12:25 pm

penquis

yes, i imagine....here the schools are releasing early....

12:25 pm

MollyL

Traffic this morning was minimal. I think a lot of people made this a long weekend to go get into the eclipse craze.

12:26 pm

penquis

it's crazy in some parts of the state here....

12:26 pm

penquis

four days ago we got 8 inches of snow....today it's almost 60 degrees and beautiful, thank goodness....

12:29 pm

MollyL

Yeah, Erie, I got E happy

12:30 pm

MollyL

Their schools are closed and people are being encouraged to stay off the roads. 50 private jets landed at their airport over the weekend.

12:31 pm
