The model simulation cloud cover forecast for essentially all of Ontario is looking increasingly pessimistic. It's looking like driving a couple hours would just be a waste of time. EDIT: Maybe somewhere south of Montreal would be better, although there's no obvious spot. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Apr 7, 2024 |

I drove about 2 hours to the park I Internet-scouted just east of Cornwall, ON (taking Hwy 417 to Hwy 138). The conditions were good, there were a lot of light clouds, but they weren't thick enough to block the sun. I was surprised how few people were at the park, just a handful of cars. I didn't have any glasses, but I borrowed a welding mask and face shield, which did the job. Just before totality, it was strange to see the light just getting weaker. The quality is very different from sunset. I got about two minutes of totality. A very strange feeling seeing it dark, yet the horizon brightly lit. My phone's camera was too much rear end to capture the event, but I did capture the dimming light and the darkness of the world (as well as two planets which became visible). I had the idea to take Hwy 401 to Hwy 416 back north. Unfortunately, everyone else had the exact same idea; the offramp was completely stopped, so it ended up taking me 4 hours to get back home, weaving my way through back roads. Still, definitely worth it.
