James Webb Space Telescope did not and can not take pictures of the Sun, eclipsed or not. The skier+eclipse pic from Sugarloaf is cool but also photoshopped. The real view as taken by MadPatSki from Sugarloaf: Sugarloaf was not too far from the southern limit of the eclipse so the horizon...

My report from Mexico. I mistakenly linked Steve's report twice. Harvey, can you fix this and consolidate the correct links into the post above?

Powderchaser Steve's report from Sugarloaf. My report from Mexico. I spent more time on the road Monday than some of you Northeasterners.

Steve was at Sugarloaf because the Vermont forecast was deteriorating a little bit. Cloud forecasting is difficult. The cloudiness from western NY could have moved in faster. In 2017 Nebraska was predicted to be the cloudy state but weather moved faster than expected so Missouri was the state...

I’m a bit jealous of CTG scoring big powder days and the eclipse on the same trip. If I had originally scheduled Texas I probably would have bailed and gone to a Northeast ski area like Powderchaser Steve. And trackbiker had it exactly right as I recommended before. Traffic before the eclipse...

Not really qualified to make that statement if you have never seen one. As with TGR in 2017 there are enough after-the-fact testimonials to support that view.

Congratulations! I thought Whiteface wasn't letting people go to the true summit. Did you skin up?

It's not percent of cloud, it's type of cloud. High cirrus you see most effects except outer corona. That occurred in Mazatlan and some of your area in the Adirondacks and was the worst case prediction for Lake Champlain area, which from reports was better than that. Medium to low clouds...

I tried to answer every question you posed! What other questions were there? Why were you not at your cabin? You could have stayed there until traffic cleared.

Where did Harvey go? Indian Lake?

That's because you were clouded out. See the 90+ comments from that Jay Peak Instagram in post #351 above from those who were more fortunate. Powderchaser Steve's report from Sugarloaf.

For the third time I need to repeat this explanation:

Lots of people don't like the hassle or expense of flying. Since chasing this eclipse or better weather for it only involves driving relatively modest distances, that's why I keep pushing you Northeasterners. Any eclipse after this one (ironically for Harvey 2026 and 2027 are visible from...

The weather forecast for upstate NY is trending less favorable. I'd rather have that forecast than the one I'm facing in Mexico, but models agree the farther east you go in the Northeast US, the clearer the forecast. Powderchaser Steve on OpenSnow was planning to fly to Dallas for the eclipse...

I thought I answered that before. Totality is about as bright as a full moon so you MUST take the solar glasses off during totality. The glasses should say on them who made them. Then Google search the manufacturer. I only know about Rainbow Symphony because they are 20 minutes from where I...

User friendly weather resource: https://www.pivotalweather.com/eclipse2024/?m=nbm&p=cloudcover_labeled&r=us_state_ny Do not venture west within upstate NY. Weather odds deteriorate to a crapshoot by Buffalo. Northeast forecasts have been fairly consistent from weather sites the past few days...

The most favorable recent weather forecasts are for Maine. Maine ski areas are also handling the eclipse in a more skier friendly manner. I just got an e-mail from Saddleback with this link to their detail plan. Skiers will be allowed on top of the mountain and to ski down. Lifts will be...

OpenSnow is doing forecasts for the eclipse. Next 48 hours cloud cover First narrative report

If you go to Gore April 8 it won’t be that different from April 9 and the April Fool will be YOU!!!!

Outside Magazine writer Gordy Megroz wrote an article about the 2017 eclipse from the perspective of Jackson locals, with Liz and me being the featured visiting veteran eclipse chasers. August in Jackson Hole is peak tourist season anyway, so there were predictions of gas shortages, cleaned...
