I had a great viewing day as well. A bit of haze, but nothing that affected my experience adversely. A little bit over 3 minutes of totality. Felt the ambient temperature drop. Birds got quiet. I might have gotten a goosebump or two. I'm very glad I planned a short trip to get into the totality zone.

Amazing how much cooler it got. We live near a very long lake and can see far down the lake and it was interesting how much light was down low to the south while we were in nearly complete darkness.

It was very cool to experience this. We had slight cloud cover, but it didn't block visibility. We have nearby neighbors who love loud fireworks, so right at totality we got some loud bangs and bright sparkles in the sky. Lots of yelling and screams as well, very much like New Years Eve.

A yard service nearby had gas powered blowers running nearly 45 minutes straight, which they silenced for not quite a minute during totality. Loved hearing the birds, especially the robins, singing like they do at dusk.

Just had a glowing report on my friend's road trip yesterday.

A few traffic issues; far worse traffic leaving Lennoxville post eclipse than getting there. Bishops University had done a great job organizing their facilities for the crowds.

They got to see some solar flares post eclipse.

They returned about 1:00 am!

Great eclipse from north Texas even with clouds
That was my first, and probably last due to my age, total eclipse. Wow! I got some good photos too. I have been into astrophotography for a couple of decades, but this was a new adventure.

I used a 400mm telephoto lens for closeups, a wide angle on a 2nd camera for capturing the entire path, and my iPhone for some short video during totality.
