We traveled to the People’s Republic of Oregon in 2017 for a total eclipse of the Sun. The Oregon Politburo organized a fun time at the Salem Fairgrounds. As the Moon completely covered most of the Sun, except for the Corona, the temperature immediately dropped significantly.
Also, go look for the shadows on the ground from tree leaves. Either before or after total eclipse, the leaf shadows on the ground show a half crescent. It is remarkable
Did you see any shadow bands?
