I saw a plot/map of the historic prevalence of cloud cover across the path for April 8th. [I think on one of Don Day’s weather podcasts - dayweatherpodcast.com]
It seemed to be that the higher the latitude, the higher the likely hood of cloud cover.
Given that path is only about 50 miles away, I’m likely to go unless it’s pouring.
A good cartoon of Peanuts on an eclipse from years ago. Lucy comes out to Linus in the pouring rain and asks, “How goes the eclipse?”
