Total eclipse - April 8 2024
- Thread starter Relax
- Start date
Niagara Falls will also be rammed as a few places have advertised themselves as premier viewing places for this event. Anywhere along the line of totality is going to be fine though and that’s only if the weather cooperates. You can probably find a nice place in the countryside with no one around to watch the event. It’s only about 3 minutes long though so just bear that in mind regarding whatever effort you make.
I am planning on viewing with the family.
I had though about getting into the 100% zone, but I figure 99% is good enough for me.
If it is especially nice.... I my venture further abroad just for the drive.

The Toronto Library branches have free viewing glasses starting today provided by the U of T:
What sort of pagan ritual have you got planned?
Couple of sacrifices. Nothing big.
If you don't have Eclipse from DSotM playing you're doing it wrong.
Niagara will have too many people, surge pricing, hellish traffic.
Anywhere along North Lake Erie should be good.

We did in all our virgins the other night for the equinox... and then it snowed. I hope that doesn't speak to the quality of our virgins... they WERE the good ones.
No need to do that as the mainland is in totality too.
Virgins? In the GTA?
Yes just avoid the zone of nope I will be heading that direction but not Niagara.Niagara will have too many people, surge pricing, hellish traffic.

DO NOT COME TO NIAGARA FALLS! it will be a gong show. Everything is booked and even if the day is overcast, traffic and everything will be jammed and poor service etc.
Even the locals will be looking to get out of dodge before the weekend starts to avoid it.

I agree, avoid Niagara Falls, the QEW is going to be gridlock for hours after it's over with all the sky peepers plus regular rush hour traffic.
Pretty much the entirety of Prince Edward County is in the zone of totality and there's lots of little backroads and such you can find a nice quiet spot to enjoy. I'd just stay away from Picton itself as it's a bottleneck. The entire stretch of the 401 between Belleville and the Quebec border is in the zone of totality so there's no shortage of good spots east, I'd avoid the falls area like the plague honestly.
I'm half torn between taking the day off and enjoying it (our friends with a place on the water in PEC have invited us), and being all "Meh, I've seen it before, why waste a sick day?". I'd be in Peterborough for work which is in the 95% zone anyways, so it's not like there'd be no show at all anyways.

Looked at the other way, how are you feeling about your odds of seeing the next one in 20 years? For many canadians, this will be their last opportunity.
Maybe in North America but there’s another in 2026 (Iceland/Spain), 2027 (Morocco, Spain, Middle East), 2028 (Australia, New Zealand) etc etc. Here’s Where You Can See Every Total Solar Eclipse for the Next 50 Years
If you really really want to see a total solar eclipse they are actually common. The only thing that isn’t common is whether you can see one without getting out your Muskoka chair.
I dunno. It's cool and all, but I rememebr the last one that came through in 2017 which reached 70% here, I stood out front of my house and watched it with my welding helmet, it got noticably dark, etc etc...but it's nothing earth shattering for me I guess is what I'm trying to say.
As for being around in 20 years for the next one, well, I'd like to think so...although I'll be retired by that point.
This was the last time i seen a total eclipse of the sun, And it got dark
What year was the total eclipse of the sun in Nova Scotia?
solar eclipses only 28 months apart. In fact, portions of northern Nova Scotia fall within the paths of totality on both 7 March 1970 and 10 July 1972. This is a far cry from the average wait of 360 years between total solar eclipses at a given location.
