I have totality!

Sorry to the guys who don’t have good weather…, that sucks.

My toes are frozen, as are my right fingers (19 F).
But it was worth it; it’s something else!

Thanks, all, and enjoy!

I saw it partially about 15 minutes ago. Clouds just rolled in. Probably won’t get to see the total eclipse. :(

I witnessed it peeking through my bathroom blinds but I was preoccupied with a negligent upstairs neighbor who left his dog unattended for 15 hours. Police were knocking on my door during totality wanting information.

Priorities.

I hear it was cool in places that didn’t have clouds in the way like I did.

We were/are having another Snowmaggedon.with temperatures close to 0 F and high winds. I looked at 9:45 PM . ~11PM, 2:30 AM, and just now. Nothing but blowing snow. Darn it!
I wouldn’t know if the Moon collided with an asteroid or was blown apart by a Chinese test detonation of their new Graviton bomb. ;-)

I’m guessing the sun rose this morning because I can see the outline of black pine trees against a gray background that used to be sky. It’s still brutal out there – and will continue to be for the rest of the day. 2 ft of snow expected, High temp today will be 7F, -15 C, with winds at 20mph gusting to 30 . How do people in Fairbanks survive?!
