I’m hitting the road soon to drive an hour south (west of Hamilton). So excited, even if it’s cloudy. It’s pretty neat to have everyone’s focus on a celestial event.

I believe Surferguy is now in the Kingston area for the eclipse too. Hope you have clear skies to take in what is truly an incredibly breathtaking event.

Yeah the forecast isn’t great, and I still can’t see the sun…. But I’m driving and hoping anyway!

I'm in DFW and it's cloudy.

Was hoping to pop out of meetings to see the eclipse.

Band of clouds just in the wrong spot. Will it move fast enough east? Or will Ontario be saddled with yet another massive disappointment?

Anyone else been reached out to by an Amazon seller offering a full refund if you take down their negative review?

This seems to happen on every order a review negatively that comes from a Chinese company.
