Look great. We had some high cirrus. But not so much as to cover it all the time. Very "HUGE" Mars like as the North western area seemed a tad brighter than the ruddy rest. Always a thrill.
 
beautiful view...but at -10F I can't stay out for more than a few minutes at a time.

I had a peek around 11:00 pm EST before I went to bed. It was about half of totality, I'd guess. Like Rex, it was darn cold so I wasn't going to stay out long.
 
The cat and I had a good time watching it after the Chiefs/Patriots game.
 
Not overly impressive.I didn't even feel like howling...go figure. On the other hand last summers partial solar eclipse was awesome.
 
I went outside several times during the event with some binos...was hoping by totality I'd see more red.
Actually, a partial lunar eclipse during the summer years ago had more red than last night, but I enjoyed the show.
Always gives me pause to think about the orbital thing going on and what primitives must have thought when the moon suddenly starts disappearing.
 
I snowshoed across a frozen lake in northern Minnesota, and then up a 1500' little peak for viewing.
It was -25 degrees out. (the high temp that day was -12).
It was fairly obscured by some cloud cover but still visible.
I loved every minute of it.
