The dim light outside reminded me of looking out of a car with dark tinted windows. I see articles already on the net talking about how solar eclipses light dimming are a big drawback to solar panels. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just now, Cfa said: I noticed that, I wonder what the cause of that is. It felt nice. temperature changes cause an increase in wind as the atmosphere is trying to mix the changes out (because different areas get different rates in temp change as the eclipse moves northwest to southeast.)

doncat Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Had around a 4 degree temp drop here but that was also aided by some cloudiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 3 minutes ago, bluewave said: About a 4 degree drop here. Charleston, SC in the path of totality is the big temp drop winner. I noticed the temp fell there but the dew point didn't ;-) A location further west could have experienced a steeper temp drop if their dew point was lower, it looks like the high dew point capped how low the temp could get in Charleston.

Morris Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Why does it need to be pointed out in every post that GOES16 is not yet operational? Does NOAA require it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Looks like the sun is out in full force again even though we have until 4 PM for the sun to be completely uncovered again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No use worrying about it right now though- it's 7 years away lol. April 8th, 2024. One good thing, as long as there is some place between Buffalo and Watertown that has some clear skies, we should be okay. Last minute adjustment would be to go west towards Buffalo or Rochester if Watertown is cloudy. One of those cities is bound to have some clear skies! I also like that it's later in the day, usually clouds are more prevalent in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xram Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 This had to be the most awesome experience I have ever witnessed! I was just north of Nashville TN near the center line. Stars and planets came out, Corona in all it's beauty and the diamond ring effect. The last bit of the sun looked like a bright white led is the best way I can describe it. Best pictures I have right now. I highly urge anybody to go see a total eclipse if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
