        Just cloud here in 85% land. In 1999, I went down to Cornwall to experience totality and it was totally cloudy then, too.

            You lucky bugger! We were there as well, and it poured with rain...then cleared up once the event was over... :sigh:

              In 1999 we were in Babbacombe in Devon, cleared up completely for the eclipse and was fairly spectacular. Today was an almost totally cloudless sky, but being only a partial eclipse and having experienced the full one it was underwhelming really. Did get a bit dimmer, noticeably chillier, lots of dogs barking around the estate, clouded over just after the moon started to pull away so didn't notice it getting brighter again.

              Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                  In the UK aren't the natives more surprised by the appearance of the sun then by it's disappearance?

                  Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

                      Well, not really. I hadn't gone to look at the clouds specifically. It was dramatic though, even though we didn't see the sun. It went completely dark and still. It's a bugger though, isn't it? Less than an hour after the eclipse is over and we have blue skies and sun!
