Here's the map of the April eclipse across the US. It will go from Dallas Texas and curve off through Buffalo New York and maine:
Going right through my town and I'm looking forward to it... so of course there will be total cloud cover.
Same experience here. Meteor shower... cloudy, lunar eclipse... cloudy, Aurora... cloudy, comet that's visible for a couple of weeks... you better believe it'll be cloudy every day.
Yep. Every single time.
Okay, not every time... the times it isn't, I would have to get up at like 4 am to see whatever it is.
Some types of clouds dissipate right before an eclipse then come back shortly thereafter
Really? I never heard that before. Do they know why?
I do not actually know, nor do I know if that is true, but if it is, I suspect it would have to do with temperature differentials due to the sun temporarily shutting off.
