Re: I remember one in 1979

April 08, 2024 05:50AM
(Message getting cut off) I forget how to fix that.

We drove to upstate NY to see “totality” … my daughter is 13 and I wanted to make sure she will see it.

Curiously it was perfectly clear yesterday and clear now but there is supposed to be major cloud cover for 2 hours EXACTLY when the eclipse takes place and then clear up. Tomorrow is also supposed to be nice.

My question… and I am hoping someone has experience with this… because the internet is zero help… but do I need eclipse glasses with total cloud cover? I likely won’t be able to see the eclipse with them on because you literally cannot see anything with them on unless you are looking at a very bright light.

And if it were just me I would probably just use my best judgement but my daughter… well I care a lot more about her. So when she says I can’t see anything, do I tell her to take off the glasses?

Also why does the internet fail me in these situations? Am I not searching properly?

For us it is just a family thing. We made a little vacation out of it. No party, no special food. The plan is to find a nice spot here and just relax.
