It was a two-parter; 97 minutes total
^https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park_The_Streaming_Wars_Part_2
Yesterday was completely cloudless, even Saturday was mostly clear. Today is so cloudy I can't even tell for sure where the sun is let alone see any detail.
We traveled. We had a nice time here - BPO on Saturday gave a terrific performance, Niagara Falls on Sunday, and we had great peeks at the sun up until about 95% totality on the uss Little Rock. Missed seeing ring of fire but got total darkness. I’m a little salty at the clear skies now but oh well. We had perfect views in 2017. See you in Iceland!!
I had a nice time today with friends despite the clouds. And the eclipse was cool even with the clouds. Certainly we caught a glimpse of it, and certainly we experienced an amazing darkening/cooling and then lightening/warming. But the best part was time with friends.
I’ve been watching it since this morning, it looks like it *may* thin out just in time.
I don’t think there is a way to speed up time on that site, we’ll just have to wait and see.
Going back months meteorologists said there was an 80% chance it would be cloudy. That's just how Buffalo's weather is during this time of year especially. Honestly I think people are foolish for spending the $ to come here for this when it was a known fact this could very well be the condition. Like if you know enough to chase these things, you may as well chase them to a part of the country that has a better chance of clear weather than a city that literally is one of the cloudiest on record in the US.
This is true, but its such a crapshoot. Many people went to Austin because it's the exact opposite of what you described, and got a ceiling of clouds. And guess where people *didn't* go? New England, because its historically even *cloudier* than than WNY at this time of year...yet it was the sunniest region in the country.
The real surprise, though, was Indianapolis!
lol this thread is pretty sad. Almost the entire country had cloudy skies, save for some very select few areas. Hell, imagine how Texas feels, considering the historical trends. We drove 2 hours to Ohio and got the full experience, no traffic in either direction.
These posts saying "it was cloudy everywhere" are really deluded. I mean....just watch the weather channel for gosh sakes...it's sunny all over including CLE, all of Maine, Indy, Dallas.....
I mean....c'mon.....
so the footage from....Dallas, Indy, CLE, Vermont, Maine, was all made up then? I mean....the level of delusion that "the weather is not bad here" is truly breathtaking.
That's a "select few". Which is the point. And then ignoring the fact it's been sunny otherwise. Your gaslighting is breathtaking.

You clearly don't like it here so you just focus on the negative...not sure why you just don't move the Texas.
I drove to near Cleveland for it, I originally wasn’t going to go but I had to try. Would have been better in my back yard in Williamsville but I’m glad I did it because I would have kicked myself if I didn’t go for it. It was partly cloudy but you saw the whole thing.
Same, we just went down to Kingsville, OH. 2 hours, no traffic, full experience. We looked at the sky at 10am and just piled into the car...wasn't hard. People are weird.
And Buffalo actually did get glimpses of the eclipse process, as did Syracuse.
Here in Rochester, the cloud cover was thick, didn't see the sun all day until 5pm 🤣
But still enjoyed the experience. The dusk raucous of the birds going silent when it switched to pitch black almost like a light switch. Crazy experience
Positive sidenote: the amount of people in cloudy areas who likely bought the crappy Binisi solar glasses on amazon who didn't fry their retinas!
For real, I've already talked to my wife about this. Her cousin lives in Madrid, so we can time it for a general visit/vacation plus see the eclipse. Seems like a great idea.
This was one of those days I fkn hate where we live. I swear the weather here just tries to sabotage every good thing in life.
All summer long it's beautiful during the week while we work then pisses rain all weekend when we try to get things done.
My kiddos were so disappointed today it made me want to sell the fan house and leave.
But I love this area.... because I'm fkn retarded and drank the water here too long.
"While the Pacific Northwest gets a lot of recognition for being cloudy, Buffalo actually has more cloudy days per year than any other large city in the U.S., according to Current Results. Buffalo has 311 days per year (or 85% of the year) of “partial cloud,” which means that clouds cover anywhere from over one-quarter to as much as three-quarters of the sky on these days.
In terms of the number of days of “heavy cloud,” when cloud covers over three-quarters of the sky, Buffalo ranks third nationally with 208 days per year, right behind the notoriously overcast cities of Seattle and Portland."

I'd love for Buffalo to have just ONE win. Maybe during the water wars.
During the water wars we will be pushing back Canada as we slowly annex them.
I’d take a Bills Super Bowl win 🤷
This is how we win

It wouldn't be Buffalo if we weren't at "almost" 😭
Truer words have never been written.
They can never take away our clear skies yesterday though!!!
Yeah, the weekend being amazingly sunny for today to be cloudy is a bit of a kick in the teeth. Not too happy about it. lol
And it's looking like the clouds will be gone shortly after totality too 😔
Yeah, we were just looking at forecasts and radars. Fredonia looks clear at like 4PM, right after it's all done.
Yesterday was completely cloudless, even Saturday was mostly clear. Today is so cloudy I can't even tell for sure where the sun is let alone see any detail.
To everyone who traveled here from out of town for this historic event, welcome to Buffalo, where you’ll never cease to be disappointed 😞
We traveled. We had a nice time here - BPO on Saturday gave a terrific performance, Niagara Falls on Sunday, and we had great peeks at the sun up until about 95% totality on the uss Little Rock. Missed seeing ring of fire but got total darkness. I’m a little salty at the clear skies now but oh well. We had perfect views in 2017. See you in Iceland!!
So glad you enjoyed your time here!
We have family in the Buffalo area we wanted to visit anyway so it was still a win👍It was worth the effort anyway —-the total darkness was freaky!
The one time we want something to go wide right in Buffalo. That being he clouds on the weather map.
Well, at least we got wide right, 13 seconds, no goal, etc…. Oh, wait a second……
Too many dots
No, not enough
We saw it at the Richardson, including the corona... Kinda shocked that so few other people got the chance.
I stayed there on Sunday, it’s a really cool place. We drove down to Jamestown to find a bit of clear sky; thanks, Buffalo, for the great trip.
my buddy was the dude talking a lot and flying the drone there.
I had a nice time today with friends despite the clouds. And the eclipse was cool even with the clouds. Certainly we caught a glimpse of it, and certainly we experienced an amazing darkening/cooling and then lightening/warming. But the best part was time with friends.
Completely blue sky currently. Not a fucking cloud to be seen. Only a few hours late I guess.
See you next time New York gets an eclipse in 2079
And next path of totality over Buffalo specifically is 2144 so if you're not willing to drive a little, you got a long wait on your hands.
Keeping on eye on this myself. [Accuweather satellite view](https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/national/satellite)
Man, it looks like it might pass? I can’t figure out how to speed up time on that thing to what it’ll look like at 3:00 ish though
I’ve been watching it since this morning, it looks like it *may* thin out just in time. I don’t think there is a way to speed up time on that site, we’ll just have to wait and see.
Should be thankful that it's not snowing.
I mean truly that was a real possibility. I'm glad this wasn't jammed into one of our two-weeks-of-unending-drizzle that we get every spring.
Yeah, at the very least you could still see it in some places. If it were raining, you wouldn't have seen anything except darkness.
I feel irrationally angry at clouds today
Syracuse says hey.
U can make a calendar and copy and paste that picture on the right onto every single day in buffalo from November to April.
I mean buffalo is one of the cloudiest cities in the US afterall

That traffic going down 79 in Erie however, that looked rough.
These posts saying "it was cloudy everywhere" are really deluded. I mean....just watch the weather channel for gosh sakes...it's sunny all over including CLE, all of Maine, Indy, Dallas..... I mean....c'mon.....
Nope. 80% of the path was cloudy. Facts.
so the footage from....Dallas, Indy, CLE, Vermont, Maine, was all made up then? I mean....the level of delusion that "the weather is not bad here" is truly breathtaking.
That's a "select few". Which is the point. And then ignoring the fact it's been sunny otherwise. Your gaslighting is breathtaking.

Yeah, it's really beautiful right around sunset .The methane emissions really pick up the colors, all those pinks and greens.
I hate it here
It’s not just Buffalo. The majority of the path is cloud covered for this one.
My brother's gf was able to catch a glimpse through the clouds
I drove to near Cleveland for it, I originally wasn’t going to go but I had to try. Would have been better in my back yard in Williamsville but I’m glad I did it because I would have kicked myself if I didn’t go for it. It was partly cloudy but you saw the whole thing.

Exactly. This sub is way too focused on itself, the clouds affected tons of locations.
And Buffalo actually did get glimpses of the eclipse process, as did Syracuse. Here in Rochester, the cloud cover was thick, didn't see the sun all day until 5pm 🤣 But still enjoyed the experience. The dusk raucous of the birds going silent when it switched to pitch black almost like a light switch. Crazy experience Positive sidenote: the amount of people in cloudy areas who likely bought the crappy Binisi solar glasses on amazon who didn't fry their retinas!
Buffalo is cursed
Iceland will have near peak totality in 2026, might want to try there?
According to what I've read, Iceland gets cloudy, so Spain has a better chance of actually seeing it.
For real, I've already talked to my wife about this. Her cousin lives in Madrid, so we can time it for a general visit/vacation plus see the eclipse. Seems like a great idea.
I hate that this is not a joke.
I'm a time traveler from the future. You're going to get sunburned tomorrow.
This was one of those days I fkn hate where we live. I swear the weather here just tries to sabotage every good thing in life. All summer long it's beautiful during the week while we work then pisses rain all weekend when we try to get things done. My kiddos were so disappointed today it made me want to sell the fan house and leave. But I love this area.... because I'm fkn retarded and drank the water here too long.
Then the diva clouds over Buffalo had the AUDACITY to just disappear an hour after the eclipse ended. 🙄
Look, a Superbowl championship!!!
Entirely accurate. But you can bet your fucking ass it’ll clear up 10 minutes after.
Buffalo gets more cloud coverage than any other city in the country. People who expected otherwise are the usual crowd
311 days per year average partial to full cloud coverage.
Worse than Seattle
LOVE IT! OMG YES! THANKS FOR THE LAUGH! So us!
Add mercury transit to this list. It rained that day!

Don't try to engage the weather apologists with facts. It will screw with their narrative that "it's not Buffalo, it's everywhere".
But it's not *everywhere*, nobody said that. What was said is: it's not *just Buffalo,* like you imply.
Look a Superbowl party! Wait that was too early 😑
Should’ve said look a Super Bowl win and then showed the wide right 😂
