Starts about 5.30pm in the lakes region. Hope the sky clears!
I wonder where the best place is to try to watch it.

Alton Bay Scenic view???? Moonrise is 5:29 PM, so I would think it would be a good east facing location...but, looking at the weather radar, it is not looking so good, so perhaps a hot air ballon tethered up at about 6000Ft may be better

Dosen't look like we'll see it... too bad!

Friend of mine told me the same, or near same effect will be visable for Sunday and Monday.. but I can't find any mention on Space.com or anywhere else.

I was driving north from Virginia Beach, and with the table-top-flat terrain of the Delmarva Peninsula, we had a completely unobstructed view for the entire event. I was wondering how the view was up at the Lake.

The good news: I've seen a preview of spring. Got sunburned on the sidelines of the soccer field yesterday, and afterwards made a stop at the beach to soak the toes. Water was cold, but the daffodils were in full bloom down there.

Not long now!
