Will i even notice anything in MN? I canât recall anything about past eclipses. My only memory of them is being in elementary school and wearing a box or something on my head to view it.
I think youâll still have a partial eclipse.
and youâll get to see the weird leaves shadows

Thinking of an eclipse joke but my brain isnât really working today. Something-something NYT Pitchbot + Joe Biden has a Total Solar Eclipse Problem - written by Ancient Greek philosopher turned op-ed writer, since they thought eclipses were a bad sign from the Gods.

If you have eclipse glasses youâll be able to see the moon pass through and create a little crescent sun. The effects on the ground wonât be that impressive. It will get evening dark, nowhere close to night dark. Viewing in totality doesnât increase the percentage coverage much but itâs infinitely more cool.
I was going to go up to the Mt. Wilson Observatory for their eclipse event but itâs been canceled due to snow which made the roads impassable. In Los Angeles. SO MUCH FOR GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Iâm driving to little rock the day before and staying overnight (weather forecast also looks questionable). I drove to nashville for the 2017 eclipse and the traffic on the way home (200 miles from nashville to memphis) was brutal (and we hung around nashville for several hours afterwards). Itâs usually a 3 hour drive and it took almost 6 IIRC.
my house is 97% coverage, is it worth it to drive ~20 mins and sit in some parking lot somewhere to get totality?
feels like it would be waaay more awesome sitting on my porch than around a bunch of people, but that depends on how much better it is at 100%.
Itâs all kind of dumb. Might as well drive the 20 min so you can tell people you got the full monty.
If youâre not the kind of person to ever need/want to talk about it, then hang on your porch for sure.

This. I know people who traveled to the brown out eclipse last year who were pretty underwhelmed.
