Damage In Tolland Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Gypsies should start hatching over the next 2 weeks in SNE with all the warmth. They should be rampant this year in N Mass and up into C NH. Gonna be a wild year for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Mark your calender. 5 years from this Monday another total solar eclipse will cross N America. A longer, darker eclipse as compared to last years and the path of totality goes through NNE. As I posted many times one of the highlights of my life was to experience a total eclipse in Aruba years ago. It's a must do and you have to be in the path of totality or it's just meh. Put your vacation day in now with your employer! Boston gets a 93% eclipse, my location in red is 97% Weather in NNE this time of year is another story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Jackman may briefly be one of the most heavily populated towns in Maine - red line looks to pass over the golf course north of town. Of course, if it's like THIS April 8, not so good. P&C has them at 7-14" with 5-9 during the day Monday. GYX/CAR have WS watch posted for the northerly parts of their CWAs. Would be a real bummer to have thick clouds for the only nearby full solar of one's lifetime. Last 2 lunar eclipses have been ruined by clouds here, but that's a thousand times less frustrating than losing a solar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd watch that from the top of the mountain for that one for sure. No doubt there's probably only a 30% chance of actually seeing it without clouds. Today would've been a no go. Guess it would get dark though regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preserving the pack? 22" at 3 this afternoon - might lose another inch to U-40s. Pack held 8.44" LE, or 38% water. That's a bit overstated, as several crusts were 70%+, the in-betweens 35 or less. Still almost ripe and tomorrow should push it closer. Hope that 2-3" RA out in clown range goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah solid gradient. Got 30s near the international border and well into the 60s in parts of SNE. There's a huge gradient from NE VT over to the Champlain Valley where the sun has broken out.

Angus Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Already quite a bit of talk in ski community about the eclipse. My wife's family in Centex will be path of totality too. Probably less chance of clouds there! I was in England in '99 and where it was around 97% and is wasn't very impressive...like the sun going behind a thick cloud on a sunny day.

Geo1, Iceland misses it. The best place to view it is on the west coast of Mexico. The resort city of Mazatlan gets almost unlimited sunshine in April and is on the ocean. Take a Mexico vacation and watch it but I bet you need to book now.

Tom12309 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 When I was a kid we went up to the Gaspe Peninsula to see the one. Driving down the road six people in a station wagon looking at the sky for a hole in the clouds and our watch to get the time driver included nobody looking at the road until NOW we stopped and piled out. That wall of black coming down the St. Lawrence blew my mind. I looked right at the sun thinking if I go blind this might as well be the last thing I see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 1 hour ago, WxWatcher007 said: Could not agree more. It’s a truly awe inspiring event. I drove to SC for the last one and while the anticipation was special the actual period of totality was extraordinary. Stars came out, street lights came on, and the temperature dropped. There was almost silence in the crowd. Can’t access my pictures right now but here’s one I posted on this board (top) and a better one posted by a friend of totality in Oregon. I was in Sullivans Island, SC for it and it was the coolest things I've ever seen. Nothing really compares to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear, April and October are the worst for deer ticks. Every time I work out in the woods I have to do a check and I'm always finding one. We never had so many growing up and I always wondering why until I started putting out a game camera for a YouTube project and when I saw 10-15 deer walking by I knew why. It's amazing how prolific they are. I rarely see them when I'm just walking in the woods but they are there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like twilight but with sun high in the sky. Odd, but the only reason we stopped nailing shingles was the novelty - there was plenty of light to keep working.
