Here in New York, anyway. Looks like a hazy sky.

Is this going to be your last “tour”?

Have a Merry Christmas over there.

[pillut48]

Yes, it was in my post. :-)

Crystal clear and cold in SW FL. Almost 1:30. Guess I’ll stay up a while. Should start soon. Getting my field glasses.

[Bhoy]

I looked it up and thought 10:41 to start. Very clear. Clouds gone. Have to run outside to see. Why not? I wasn’t paying attention 456 yrs ago and probably won’t be paying attention 200 years from now. [grin]

I am in N. County Riverside CA rain rain and nothing but heavy rains, winds with no let up in site, so will not be able to see eclipse..:(

[The Cajun]

Nothing yet. Getting hungry. Boudin sounding good.

LOL, was getting sleepy and just got a big mug of coffee, that should keep me going till 2:00 am and probably beyond.

cloudy in H-town :(

[mylife]

clouds are getting thicker here, but the visibility is still OK.

[MinorityRepublican]

Cloudy here in NC, can’t see it.

[decimon]

Just went outside and the moon is at 12 o’clock and kicka$$ bright tonight, must be really good atmospherics here.

I think the moon is extra bright because the sun is nearly opposite the moon just before the eclipse.

[hope]

Darn pineapple express!

[ResearchMonkey]

Mountains above Bakersfield have zero visibility tonight, you can’t even tell where the moon would be. All I can see is the distant light pollution of town reflecting in the rain and off the clouds.

Shame, the kids had hoped to see something.

[smokingfrog]

Earlier, the clouds were pretty thin, but they are a lot thicker now. Can only see the moon occasionally through a break in the clouds.

[cajuncow]

Moon is starting to darken on one “corner” now.

[decimon]

Cloudy here in NC, can’t see it.

Post #5 says it's clear in northwestern NC. But then clouds can come and go quickly.

[cajuncow]

And the clouds are now rolling in.

Makes sense. Think I see a slight hint it may be starting here. Doesn't seem to be a perfectly circular disk like it was 15 minutes ago or my eyes are going out on me ;^)

Looks like it. But what was haze is now thicker. I might lose it to cloudiness.

[mylife]

Well, it has started here, but the clouds are getting thicker.

[The Cajun]

About 1/5 of moon now dark, no clouds yet.
