    During the totality during the 2017 one it was weird because the birds all quit chirping. And then started up again 20 minutes later.

    We noticed that too! Still as death.

    We have had total cloud cover this morning. Still I thought it would be darker outdoors than it became, even at only 81% eclipse. Kind of a non-event here in WA.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    The weather cleared up just in time! I managed to get a half decent picture just by holding a pair of eclipse viewing glasses over the lens of my iPhone.

    Heavy cloud cover here as well. They thinned out enough for a brief minute or two view of a slight notch in the sun. Beats a blank!

    Nothing by me. Rainy and cloudy. Love all the pictures I've been seeing, though!

    Thought I would just reuse this thread. There is a partial solar eclipse this coming Saturday morning. Again, a google search should bring up the information for specific areas.

    Bummer - we're not going to see it here (Ohio). We had total lunar eclipse, a blood moon - in the early hours of the 14th (March) It was lovely, but the 2:30 AM chill was kinda rough. Last April's solar eclipse was totally stunning, and I was so glad the weather here held. Just a little south of us did not fare as well. Our next one is in 2099, and I'm sure I won't be here to see that one!!
