Honestly I’m not at all worried about a few wisps of cirrus. Mesos look good so far. didn't see this before my post but see you there lol Derby might even work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I am curious to hear from you Mets. The timing of that cirrus layer is critical. Although the sun will filter through I don't know if it will be a thicker solid high overcast with filtered sun or a very thin layer of cirrus that is hardly noticable. I'm not smart enough to look at the moisture layers to determine how thick the moisture layer might be. Even if the layer is thin it will screw up seeing the Diamond Ring, Bailey's Beads and the sun's corona. The planets would not be visiable either. Any thoughts on how "thick" is thick? Looks like a total layer with no holes. One more thing. At 3:30pm the sun is in the western sky to some degree. So even if the forward line of cirrus is still slightly west of any given point it may still block the afternoon sun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcglups Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 It is going to be quite warm compared to the past few days! Here is a map for parking in colebrook. I'm going to feel very relaxed once I've parked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 2 hours ago, wxsniss said: Same exact plan Agree I think cloud cover will be a thin veil at most + we'll be far enough east that Newport vs. Colebrook should work. Defaulting to Newport given the extra seconds of totality. I'm so nervous just about getting there leaving Boston at 8am. Still can't believe New England may have one of the the best patches of viewing on the planet... I'll PM you my cell # You can also try Canaan, VT. It might be a little as crowded than Colebrook.

mreaves Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Went down to W. Leb this afternoon. Pretty steady stream of cars coming north on 89. Didn’t seem that much heavier than the Friday before a holiday weekend during ski season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The eclipse tourists were rolling in fast today, and the vibe is fun. So many people out and about in town. Many outside, walking the Rec Path and sidewalks. Skiers, first time skiers in town for the eclipse, having fun. But cars everywhere. I’ll be honest, sometimes it’s a bit much and annoying while you are just trying to get through daily life. This has a different vibe. Like people know it’s not something that randomly happens. It’s an event that many won’t see again in their lives and they know it. The mood is cheerful, weather was 50s and sunshine, with melting snow on the ground next to greening grass. Optimism for a spring day mixed with a once-in-a-lifetime vibe. It’s going to be the largest party NNE has ever seen. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have never experienced totality before you are in for a real treat! As for the traffic, the nightmare comes as soon as totality ends. That is when everyone hits the road almost at once. I learned that lesson in 2017. This time I kept the room for tomorrow night as well and will roll out Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wanted to maximize my time in totality. Weather forecasts here have become more optimistic. Any clouds we have may see should be thin cirrus at least.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Congrats to everyone going North for the full totality. I hope it is even more epic than you think it will be!
