Won't see a cloud all day, then five minutes before totality BAM! it'll be a whiteout here!

Missed everything this year due to cloud. :upset:

I saw the one last year, it'd be nice to see this one too. :)

Yeah, but I'll be out there waiting for a clearing.

Below is a timeline, for Eastern Daylight Time. In the Central Time Zone, subtract one hour from these times; in the Mountain Time Zone, two hours, and for the Pacific Time Zone, three hours.

9:14 p.m.: Moon enters Earth’s dark umbral shadow
10:23 p.m.: Totality begins
11:04 p.m.: Mid-eclipse
11:45 p.m.: Totality ends
12:54 a.m. (Oct. 28): Moon leaves the umbra

Yup, it's 9.55pm here, and they're saying it's another half hour before the full eclipse. I'm torn between watching the eclipse, or watching the Red Sox winning 3-0 so far. :)
