Couldn't see anything - except what it looks like at 5.30pm out the window.

Clear skies, sun in right direction - and by heck the temperature in the back garden dropped quickly, even in our ~90% band.
Herself watched it on TV "because the coverage was better"

We also experienced the temperature drop (I am in the 68% band). People who came out regularly also said it went a bit darker.

Cloud, cloud, and more cloud.

Not a cloud in the sky, but only 62% here. Not really spectacular.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Got a good view - cloud cover was just enough for it to come through.
Flippin' cold and the birds have gone quiet. Have some flowers (weeds!) in the garden that close up at night and they're shut tight

Nature is weirdly wonderful! Birds are back singing and the flowers are starting to open up again already

Not really. While it was clear and frosty in the morning clouds appeared meanwhile.

Our office has one wall which is essentially a massive window. I sit right in front of that window. It gave me a perfect view of FA. My colleague was wearing a Welding Mask. Quite a surreal experience really.

It's when he starts wearing a Hockey Mask you want to start worrying...

So, our tests today have shown that Eclipse with the cloud sucks.
Next week on mIThbusters, we'll examine VS and Azure.

This is the age of social media so it was a Meh-clipse

Just cloud here in 85% land. In 1999, I went down to Cornwall to experience totality and it was totally cloudy then, too.

You lucky bugger!
We were there as well, and it poured with rain...then cleared up once the event was over...

In 1999 we were in Babbacombe in Devon, cleared up completely for the eclipse and was fairly spectacular.
Today was an almost totally cloudless sky, but being only a partial eclipse and having experienced the full one it was underwhelming really.
Did get a bit dimmer, noticeably chillier, lots of dogs barking around the estate, clouded over just after the moon started to pull away so didn't notice it getting brighter again.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Well, not really. I hadn't gone to look at the clouds specifically. It was dramatic though, even though we didn't see the sun. It went completely dark and still.
It's a bugger though, isn't it? Less than an hour after the eclipse is over and we have blue skies and sun!

through some intermittent gaps in the clouds, I could manage to see a few glimpses of it up 'ere in lovely North Yorkshire.
