It was like some of those time lapse things you see.
Like the sun lowering, getting dark and then sun rising.

Except it was a funny sort of light and dark. Not "night" dark and I could still make out the shadow of my house roof on the grass at he back. I stood on the deck and some birds in the tree were going crazy.

Did you have a clear view of the sun ?

No special glasses so I wasn't going to look.

I was actually on my way back to PA from Montreal the day of the eclipse. I managed to see it in Calcium NY which was in the area of totality. I had the glasses to watch it all so it was very cool seeing it happen and seeing how dark it was during totality. Only downside was the insane traffic because of that going home afterwards. Didn't get home until well after midnight!

The best bit was when one of the ABC reporters told the camera man to turn the light on as it was too dark for people to see.

Some friends were at Love's Travel Stop/Chester's Chicken an it was a big party. Most of the workers and customers were in the parking lot with their glasses but when it got too dark, all of the automatic floodlights came on and messed it up.:eek: Apparently it was still good though and they were awestruck by the total eclipse.

It was just cloudy here in the northwest. Some people a few hundred miles away from me got enough of a break in the clouds to see a bit of sun with a small chunk taken out, but I didn't see anything.

It's not so bad if you didn't have to travel, must be hard for those folks who made a major trip to try and see it. I think even parts of Texas were clouded over.
