Something that can happen any day vs a potentially once in a lifetime experience…. Yeah I can totally see why someone would be equally excited about those.
Tis a joke my good sir
And some people truly don’t see the difference.
cries in upstate new york
I think upstate is forecast to be one of the clearer places
It used to be better. Now it says mostly cloudy. There’s still a chance but I’m not optimistic
I live in DFW and just drove home from work and holy shit the forecast has done nothing to slow down the flood of pilgrims. There is an insane amount of traffic on the roads already.
All these people are going to be creating congestion in my city to look at dark clouds. Wow.
Niagara falls in Canada already declared a state of emergency and Kingston is expecting to see 3x the normal population visit during the eclipse. It’s going to be absolutely nuts and I feel for anyone living in a city like that.
I just left Niagara falls a few days ago and they are erecting barricades like they’re prepping for Canada to invade lol
Yeah, it’s going to be a mess. I’m really not looking forward to Monday.
It’s always a shit show. I drove to S Illinois in 2017. 6 hour drive in, 17 hour drive home I hated it. But worth it.
My experience wasn’t quite that bad, but still sucked. It took about 4.5 hours to get to my perfect spot. I left within an hour or two after the eclipse was over, and then it something like 8+ hours to get home due to excessive traffic.
It wouldn’t have changed my choice, but I would have appreciated a warning that post-eclipse traffic could/would be extreme because it wasn’t something I had even thought about. Figured it might be a little heavier, but wasn’t expecting that much.
So this time around, I’ve mentioned it to folks who are planning to travel to see it.
