Are any of you guys planning on trying to catch the eclipse on Monday?

As long as the sky is clear it will be passing directly over us here in northern Vermont.

It was the first total eclipse for me. I've seen several partials and there is no comparison.

Eclipse traffic is fucking crazy!

I had to go to Ottawa this morning @ 11 going north from Prescott on hwy 16, and I couldn,t believe the bumper to bumper traffic heading south on 416 this morning. I was totally shocked, as I have never witnessed this since they built the 416 hwy. I became part of that southbound traffic around 12.30, and both lanes were bumper to bumper the whole way down to the 401. Unreal ! I,m not sure how much different the view would of been for the people living in Ottawa, which is like 45 minutes north of us. We watched it happen on tv, and it did get freakishly dark here for about 5-8 minutes, but all back to normal now. There were 3 cops directing traffic at the Prescott exit, and carefully watching as vehicles backed up on the off ramp, and made sure too keep traffic rolling thru the stop sign so people wouldn,t be stopped way back on the 401 hwy. 

So when does the world end? Does that start today or tomorrow?

No, it wasn't to anyone but you. 

I stuck my head out the back door at the shop with my welding helmet on, we were better than 95% here. 

You wouldn’t have even known here if they haven’t been talking about it for months 

fucking clouds moved in here so it was a bust,even the eclipse didn't want to come to NYlost a day of work for nothing

Cloudy here in Philly as well but it got noticbly darker. Ive seen a couple eclipse's tho sonits cool.

For thise who missed

You do realize this pic is old as the kid is now 4 Inches taller then dumbo

97% here Pittsburgh Pa. it was a small sliver from 6:00 to 12:00  then it kind went towards the bottom 3:00 to 9:00 then slowly pretty much straight back up to 12:00 and over with. I felt the temps drop a little and a light breeze, dogs barking and birds sounding like it was getting to rain or the sun going down for the night....... still pretty cool to watch for a partial.
