I stayed up to watch it last night, it was erie. The sky was perfect and it was chilly, but the color was cool. Here in this God forsaken place called New Jersey, we dont get clear skies that often and when we do, there are too many lights and you can only see a few stars. The first time my wife and I went up together (to the lake) we went out to Rattlesnake at night and drifted in the boat to see if we could catch glimpse of some falling stars, and she could not believe what the sky looked like. She had never seen it like that before. I love the lake. And I am itching for a trip, next spring I hope.......

Glennsteely --

You're lucky, because over on this side of the river (just north of Philly), the cloud cover took over just before the event. I'd been outside just before the Sox game began, and there were some thin, broken clouds through which the moon was clearly visible. Went outside around 10:15 to view the start of the event, and it was completely overcast. Oh well. But we did catch the last one -- I think it was last year, maybe the year before -- and that was pretty cool. Go Eagles.

It was last year, I think. I saw it too. Last night there were a few clouds bu not enough to hinder the view. I am just south of Philly, across the river, inland a bit.
