Yeah it was an awesome to see. Just wasn’t pitch dark as many have described. I was in full totality for 2.5-3 minutes. These are shots during full totality.

Yeah I’m not really sure where the “pitch dark” idea comes from. Yes it’s dark, but there’s also some light because of the “360 degree” sunrise look that you see on the horizon in all directions… to me that was part of the uniqueness of the experience

I probably used the wrong words. I was aware of this eclipse happening in 2017 shortly after I moved to Tennessee in 2006. It was definitely something cool to experience in one’s own backyard as so very little people in the world will ever actually experience it. It was also late summer and the bugs were buzzing loud before the eclipse so I didn’t notice that change in sound from night time bugs. My backyard is literally forest so it’s always loud in the summer.

This was a great description of what happened that day,
You didn't notice how Big Foot reacted during that Eclipse did u?
Just curious for a friend.
 
i will echo the people that say to seek totality. i traveled from raleigh to south of gsp for 2017 and its really the type of thing everyone needs to see at least once in their life.

it's on a monday this year. i have a bachelor party in nola that weekend- i'm planning on renting a car, staying in shreveport sunday night, driving to rural arkansas to view it, then driving to memphis that evening to fly back to richmond.

i mean do you hear that sentence. i am renting a car hungover af to drive through louisiana to do this.
 
^^Some light snow in Boone as well. But, it's right above freezing so very little accumulation.

I think that Feb forecast was a little off. Have not heard much. He’s still doing his thing on Meta or whatever

Only reason I have is because I drove to 11k feet in Colorado 🤣

Never thought I'd be doing that when I moved to Tulsa... If next winter isn't a lot better I'm gonna seriously question things

I mean we've had back to back winters be this bad before but I don't think we've ever had three

Everyone's winter outlook was off. All the mets called for above average snowfall here because of the Nino. It was a total buat, probably the worst ever in regards to a winter outlook. What worked in the past doesn't necessarily work now.

Seasonal forecasting is hardly more accurate than a coin flip.

Nobody ever expected the country to get flooded by endless Pacific air but it's happened before in some of the El Nino analogs so I mean shrugs

There was always a horrible analog here for this winter people just ignored it for the better ones 🤣 in fact I remember how we followed it with a really cold Halloween and we never really unfollowed it

Like I said above too we've had back to back winters be this bad before the real question is next winter

The big thing is that we’ve got to hope that the Alaskan trough stops being so dominant in the winter. Like JB pointed out yesterday, it seems that no matter the background state were in, La Niña or El Niño, that just kills winter east of the Rockies. That was also the case in the early 90s as well.

Yup 91-92 was the bad analog here and it had been record cold at Halloween just like this yeaf and then poof for the most part. Hardly any snow that year too. It was always on the list this year with the snowier analogs but we never could get away from it and here we are...
