WE SURVIVED THE SOLAR ECLIPSE!

At 3:18 P.M. the temperature dropped about 10 degrees and it was like someone hit the dimmer switch. Within a few seconds the sunlight was gone, the streetlights came on, and it was eerie feeling being plunged into midnight. In the distance there was a 360 degree “sunset” surrounding the eclipse darkness.



The darkness lasted three minutes and then things started to lighten up. Clouds finally cleared and Diane and I were able to view the eclipse with our Solar Eclipse glasses on. It will be many years before another Solar Eclipse shows up in Western NY so we’re happy we experienced this rare event!
