Totally running back and forth all the way down my hall from my room where I need to do work to the only window in this building the eclipse is visible from right now

Here's the view from my house just after totality ended.

I usually bypass being concerned with such events, but my mom called last night and got my daughter excited to see it. She raced to our living room window, and kept me and my wife updated every couple of minutes, at which point we'd go and see it. It was pretty neat.

Noooo, it snowed last night!

I was really looking forward to seeing it, too.

I know the feeling Meg. It was only visible for like an hour and a half until the snow came here.

We couldn't see it from where I live. It was too cloudy.

I demand a re-take.
