if it weren't 10 below zero out and it wasn't cloudy. eclipses are far better in the summer.

6. Oh, I care, and I'm watching it
I'm very glad it cleared up here in eastern Pennsylvania, I was very disappointed with the weather forecast, thankfully it was very wrong.

8. We can see it right out of my bedroom window...
the whole family is in here and my husband is doing makeshift science with a flashlight, a potato and a kiwi? We sure know how to have a good time!

aren't those double booms scary? I've had them happen over my house, too, when that bird lands....shakes my windows.

24. Sounds like your are much closer to the Kennedy Space Center landing
...or are you near Andrews? Yes, but today it sounded much farther away, they have come right over my house with tremendous shock waves

15. I was so excited, but it's too cloudy here. :-(
My poor daughter will have to wait 3 years. She was just as bummed as I was. :(

22. I was just outside watching it.
But it's below zero and I'm in my bathrobe so I didn't last too long. It's neat to watch, though.

23. Barely visible through the cloud cover here
Clear skies Colorado and we have to have some clouds right where the moon is in the sky. But I could see some light disappearing.

30. We just went and looked at it
Very cool! It's a bit more than 75% now. I'm glad we have such a clear night. I could see Saturn, too. We got out the binoculars and the moon looks amazing.

34. It rained most of the latter part of the day here. We still have thick cloud
cover. I can't see a thing except the reflection of city lights. When the sky is clear, the stars are clearly visible, probably third or fourth magnitude.

37. This is the first time in my 55 years I had a clear sky to enjoy it.
I just finished watching "Joshua" when it was at 50%, could that mean something? A beautiful sight from a beautiful world. Let's hope we can make it even more so tomorrow.
