    Pretty nice!!

    Eh..nothings perfect Richard. I think maybe 2 days after your fropa would be best. The prevailing conditions in the eastern half of totality through the USA in summer are what they are. At least in TN Monday looks mainly dry. Clouds are so hard to predict when there is no synoptic driver though.....good luck and hopefully we all see the black hole!

    The hope is the typical diurnal cumulus can be dampened by the eclipse moving in. In any case, I'm feeeling ok with Gallatin-timing of the 594dm ridge high water Mark couldn't have been planned better. Fingers crossed.

    That's 30 minutes before totality in BNA roughly meaning probably at or just past west of there.

    Good going!

    Maybe it's cost....gotta be some benefit of a lifetime of work...lol.

    Ice-are we the only ones from the New England forum going?

    Yet everyone who has experienced totality say it's one of the all timers. People operate in silos. I looked up about a month ago and was struck with the fact that I'm 70 and always wanted to see totality. A no brainer. Besides, I've always enjoyed Nashville.

    I know! All these ignorant people with that reaction!

    I well remember that event. In Boston, we had nearly 97% yet it didn't get that dark. That's when I knew I had to get to totality. Or if I were lucky I could have flown my "Lear jet to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun"

    Paintbrush cirrus may be a nice effect if it's scattered.
  12. weathafella
    I wonder if that's the quick temperature drop and humidity rise briefly due to darkness at the eclipse time?
  13. weathafella
    What time is your BOS departure? I get in a bit past 4 with a short connection in Detroit.
  14. weathafella
    We should think of a rendezvous point. I'm staying not far from BNA. I was thinking of driving to the Vanderbilt area for dinner Sunday evening -nice neighborhood and walkable.

    Sticking with Nashville for now-I think cloud issues look ok and I enjoy Nashville. 12Z Euro clear as a bell for Nashville.

    I'm on my own. My wife decided to wait until 2024. Of course she's 12 years younger than me with better odds..lol. i decided to wait until Tuesday to return fearing difficulties getting to BNA Monday night. I also want to relax and celebrate in Nashville which I really like. Im going to try to get to Gallatin by 9AM-maybe sooner and have breakfast there. We should meet at the venue!

    Are you solo? Gallatin looks a good spot with 45 seconds more totality va Nashville.
  18. weathafella
    Thanks Richard! I wish I were chasing with you- an experienced eclipse viewer.

    See I don't get this part. I'm dying to experience the event and spending time with tripods/cameras means that experience is diluted. I'll shoot one with my iPhone during totality and that's it. Triple creek park in Gallatin,TN. Register with eventbrite if you're there. I do plan to allow for hours getting there vs the typical 40 minutes from Nashville.
  20. weathafella
    Yes. Shortly after noon Sunday. I have a hotel near BNA Sunday and Monday nights.
  21. weathafella
    Flying solo I believe but my wife and daughter may be last minute additions with my wife's friend living in Nashville now.
  22. weathafella
    Ice consider Nashville. Cool place in general and good chances for visibility if the medium range Euro is to be believed.
  23. weathafella
    2079 is going to be fabulous! Hopping 2017 and realistically 2024 are great. Clouds mean everything and 2024 could be polluted that way given the April time along the lakes.
  24. weathafella
    Let's do it!
  25. weathafella
    I'll be 133 in 2079.
