    Ice consider Nashville. Cool place in general and good chances for visibility if the medium range Euro is to be believed.

    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.

    Let's do it!

    I'll be 133 in 2079.

    I'm going to get up early and head to Gallatin. I'm waiting until about Thursday or Friday to buy my plane ticket because I want to be sure BNA is the destination. My plan is to get to Triple Creek Park which per photos is wide open. My return will wait until 8/22 which gives me latitude to not worry about crowds too much.

    This is it for me. I doubt I'm alive on 2044-98th bday would be 12/1. I think the BNA idea remains viable. I've been out west in summer a lot and trust me it's not cloud free. I can buy or change the air ticket on pretty short notice. Incidentally DEN is cheaper vs BNA but I have miles to use so that's not a big issue.

    Yeah plan B is fly to Denver, check in somewhere and sleep till midnight then get up and allow enough time to get to Casper-normally a drive under 4 hours but leaving midnight allows for nearly 10. Incidentally the car rentals are also expensive but Costco at least keeps it within some reason. I just booked a car for $150 for 2 days out of BNA.

    Interior Oregon has the best chance of clear skies. I'm still planning on Nashville but am prepared to change at the last minute if it becomes clear that Nashville will have a high chance of clouds.

    Yeah Gene it's going to be spectacular provided the sky is clear. My plan is to leave from my hotel around 5-6AM and drive up to Gallitin near the center line. It's only a drive of an hour or less but I anticipate traffic will be pretty intense so getting their early to me makes sense.

    Plenty of rooms just outside totality but I want to go close to the center line. I thInk the roads are going to be clogged so I just didn't want to risk getting caught in traffic. So if the road to Gallitin is too crowded I know I can watch it from the hotel I'm in near BNA which based off of memory is kind of in a higher area. Nashville has just under 2 minutes of totality while Gallitin is 2 minutes and 40 seconds.. Im paying $280/ night for a Residence Inn-last room I could find.

    I'm booked. I waited too long so paying ridiculously high hotel rate but going on 71 I'm not waiting and banking on being around in good shape for 2024.
  12. weathafella
    Great description Gene! I'm booked in Nashville for the eclipse and may drive north to expand the time of totality. Totally psyched!

    That map is such a knife in the heart. I remember seeing the prongs the night before it started while I was in Dallas. The pain was nearly unbearable.
  14. weathafella
    2 miles?

    Last pic of snow for me at that house. Nostalgic about all the pummeling seen from the winters of 1992-93 through 2014-15.

    I believe euro will end up being largely right. Nj not far from getting into the action. To say this is a terrible euro performance to me is ludicrous. It trended appropriately. But unlike the others didn't bounce around with huge swings.

    I think the Euro will verify. Look at it backing into the NYC area now.

    I know it's so funny. I would be content with a middling number at my house as long as BOS excels as mentioned before. Why? Because wtf is the difference really in 3 days between 15 and 25?
  20. weathafella
    The thing about the GFS, it tends to cut way back on qpf for every single major event including February 2013 which would have given half what people got. It's a POS even if it happens to be right this time but I wouldn't bank on it.
  21. weathafella
    Looks like the GFS vomited right up to go time once again....lol.
  22. weathafella
    RGEM is a tad slower also. Great run for so many of us. Today was the day I finally felt good about getting close to 2 feet. I knew it was 18+ most likely but today some of the deets got ironed out. We'll see if there are surprises. I don't care if I get 14 inches as long as BOS gets 2 feet....lol.
  23. weathafella
    I feel your pain. I missed many. Too late to come to town I guess given that the meat and potatoes, the franks AND the beans if you will are coming in as I speak.
  24. weathafella
    I'm upping my BOS estimate to 26.1.
  25. weathafella
    Euro!
