April 8 we saw a total solar eclipse, and here in Albion we were directly in the path of totality!
Unfortunately being early April the clouds had other plans, so we also had 100% cloud coverage. However that did not stop us from going outside for the event and at least witnessing the darkness that fell.
Cuddles got upset that we all came outside and left him alone, so he joined us outside!
Once there was 100% coverage the sky fell dark and it felt very ominous.
Since we had no view, we also watched the live video coverage for NY state.
The darkness lasted about 3 minutes then it was business as usual! We would have had to drive hours to gamble for a view, so we decided just to stay at home for this one. The next one in the contiguous US isn't until 2044, so who knows where we'll be then!
