Drill Here, Drill Now
| Been pretty neat stepping out periodically every few minutes and checking progress. Starting to get some orange now. Cold by Houston standards (39), but I still have some Alaska blood in me so I'm going out in short sleeves.

| Just checked again, just turning red. Crystal Clear Skies, cold as hell. Can't stay out too long....but it's beautiful.

Yeah, it's amazing how clear the sky is right now...and in a few hours we'll be getting blasted again with another winter storm. I'll check it in another 15 mins then I need some shut eye. Got to get to the slopes early tomorrow.

| Totally clear here, too, and a good view from our back yard. Unfortunately, our neighbors are all trying to sleep, so we had to keep quiet. That, plus a temp of 3 degrees and both of us recovering from colds, we didn't last long. Hopefully, some of the pics my girlfriend took turned out.

| Just came back in. 16 degrees here, so wasn't going to watch the whole thing. Haven't seen one of these before. |

| I checked before it started and we have clear skies here. I also watched some of the web live-streams of it. It's interesting, but not something I want to spend a lot of time doing. flashguy

| Beautiful and cold here, great eclipse viewing - we used an older Newtonian reflector, a couple of 8x binos, and the naked eye.
Neat seeing a total lunar eclipse after seeing the total solar 2 years ago. |

| Thank you. I saw this post and went out just in time to see about a 90% eclipse. Very cool. |

| Clear night in Belgium. I saw it, froze my butt off, but the pictures are indecipherable.
The last time I watched one was living in Saudi Arabia. |
