I planned so hard for the April 8th eclipse it honestly gave me really bad anxiety lmao.
I had sites picked out for hundreds of miles along the path, constantly analyzing cloud cover projections every 6 hours that they released comparing a dozen different ones.
It was cloudy across nearly all of the path I could get to. But I did successfully find a spot where I was pretty sure cloud coverage should clear up beforehand. And it did. But I was freaked out almost up to the event.
I planned a trip with my family. 8+ hour drive to Niagara Falls. We had cloud cover for all but 15 seconds of the 3 minutes and 20 seconds of full eclipse. Still an enjoyable trip because we spent a long weekend there but the clouds really did fuck me over on the main event.
