It's already started here. Southern Florida, Wednesday evening, 9:30 pm. Right now it looks like a shadow is slowly creeping it's way over the moon.

Yeah, it looks totally awesome. And it's a perfect night here, it's so clear.

Here, too. I got some pics, but none really captured the exact details. Though they are still, pretty cool.

Saw the partial eclipse on my way to Target, then on my way home just now I managed to spot the full eclipse. Right here it would actually be easy to miss completely if you weren't sure of where exactly to look.
I got an okay sight of it. Being in Philly, there was a lot of distortion in the atmosphere. It still looked pretty awesome.

I saw the eclipse just tonight. Very neat looking.
I remember seeing a solar eclipse around noontime back in 1993, when we walked out of our factory to take a look.

I had a perfect view of the eclipse. It was a nice, clear night and rather quiet as I just relaxed and sat on my back porch to watch it. :D Course the silence was broken by a news copter flying by at the exact moment of totality *lol* But other then that it was a rather relaxing 30 min....and it was the perfect temp to....wasn't freezing cold at all. :D

cloudy here but me and my kid got a look at it while it was still reddish looking. Really cool.
Lady R up there in Michigan took these pics:

I got lucky here in Nashville. We were not supposed to be able to see it because of an ice storm moving in....but there were not too many clouds and I got to see it. very pretty.

I guess I caught your ice storm, then, because I tried to see it, but my view was blocked by clouds and little bits of hail. :(

I saw the eclipse too. It was cool. My mom went outside to see it, but I looked at it from inside the house because it was too cold. Then, I saw the moon this morning reappearing from the eclipse on my way to school. That was awesome.

It was a clear night, and I could see it perfectly. To bad it was -7 degrees.
