Same here, as usual.
Every cool astronomy event brings the inevitable cloud cover.
:\
; ) or is it ; (
Hoping the clouds clear off
LOL
Me either.
The last really good one I saw was back in 1994.
And of all things, I watched it from the back of a Harley as we made our way home from Waynesboro PA.
It was pretty awesome, really.
:)
I want to see the angles from the ISS. Live transmission of this is not a heavy lift.

Is 0bama ordering NASA to give credit for the eclipse to the Moose Limbs?
Not a dang cloud in the sky all week until today LOL
But it seems to be clearing

As of right now, they’re saying “partly cloudy” until 10PM.
Could change either way.
Our weather forecasts have been totally useless all summer.
;D
I was an amateur astronomer in jr high and HS. Cloud cover here,
I’m one bummed out gal, treating myself to a hot cocoa to feel better. I’ll have to watch it online. It’s not the same as watching it live.
Nope, it’s not.
I’m currently scouting forecasts for nearby areas, in case the clouds are scattered.
I’d drive a bit to see it live.
:)
Bump.
I don’t want to get near Philly with the Pope there. It would be traffic hell multiplied by infinity.
NYC is overcast. I’m stuck at home watching it online. Just a bummer because I don’t know if I’m going to be alive for the next one (probably) but will I be able to see it where I’m living?.
I wouldn't want to get near Philly even without the Pope there.
awesome
