xkcd #2915: Eclipse Clouds
Something that can happen any day vs a potentially once in a lifetime experience…. Yeah I can totally see why someone would be equally excited about those.
Tis a joke my good sir
And some people truly don’t see the difference.
Every time there's a solar eclipse, a blood moon, a super moon, or any other astronomical phenomenon, we never can see it here in Utah, it's always far too cloudy and too overcast to see anything. Same with this Monday's eclipse, though even if we could, we only would see a portion of it anyway.
If it's any consolation, the size difference of a super moon cannot be seen with the naked eye. Lensing effects from the atmosphere can make much more of a difference and they don't depend on how far away it is.
It was pretty clear during the annular last year. Drove down to Lynndyl and had a great view.
cries in upstate new york
I think upstate is forecast to be one of the clearer places
It used to be better. Now it says mostly cloudy. There's still a chance but I'm not optimistic
I live in DFW and just drove home from work and holy shit the forecast has done nothing to slow down the flood of pilgrims. There is an insane amount of traffic on the roads already.
All these people are going to be creating congestion in my city to look at dark clouds. Wow.
Niagara falls in Canada already declared a state of emergency and Kingston is expecting to see 3x the normal population visit during the eclipse. It's going to be absolutely nuts and I feel for anyone living in a city like that.
I just left Niagara falls a few days ago and they are erecting barricades like they're prepping for Canada to invade lol
Yeah, it's going to be a mess. I'm really not looking forward to Monday.
