Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 “It's going to be pretty much clear, but it's going to be on the cold side, somewhere around 40-ish,” Well it'll be around 13-ish here. I have a great view of the western horizon but I don't think we'll see much here. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yeah, it's rough in coastal California. Why, right now it is all the way down to 35 here. We even had some frost last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Well it was only down to 14 so I took the telescope out on the front porch and watched the show. Very cool. The eclipse reached it's peak as the sky was getting light in the east. There was a coyote up the canyon who seemed to think it was a good time to serenade. Had to come back in the house twice to warm up my coffee though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 20 degrees here on the North Coast, a dusting of snow but it should be gone by tommorow. It's supposed to be in the high 30's and sunny fer the next few days. Rain in the forecast for Tuesday and in the 40's. Man we've been lucky so far. Thank God for global warming!

Hit totality just as the Moon was about to set behind the mountain just to the west of us (you CO types would call it a medium hill). Must have been nice to have that music though. We just heard dogs barking and a (#&$ car alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Gun For Hire Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Woke up early this morning. It had just started, went to start coffee and visit the little boys room. Got back to the window to watch and fog rolled in blocking everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Could be. I was looking online for some sort of map, only ones I saw were like a map of the world with a giant sine wave over it, some light and some dark. They said anywhere light could see something, best I could make out it looked like Texas could see a partial. I'm not sure though, was having a hard time making heads or tails of it. I saw nothing in the local newspaper and TV news websites, so you might be right. Like it matters now anyway! JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The New article said that one could see it starting in the western sky from California at 6am. From Colorado that would be at 7am and Texas at 8am. You can never see a lunar eclipse when it's daylight in the winter because a lunar eclipse always comes at night with a full moon.
