As you probably all know I am from central Ill.I worked today at the library,and around 145,I went outside to watch the eclipse.It didn't even dim.Sunlight was just sunlight.Thinking,did I miss something?We had several calls for glasses.Anyone else experience this?

Here, the weather man got a shot of the eclipse, but it wasn't good.

We had a partial eclipse in NYC. I didn't have a chance to get the special glasses before they became unavailable everywhere, so I wasn't watching. But our sunny day definitely darkened for maybe 30 minutes. I was running errands. There is a good amount of open space and a wide avenue where I was, and a fair amount of people came out of their apartments and stores to watch. Some set up chairs. I was told by those looking they had a good view of the partial eclipse. Some, as with everything, were uninterested. I guess if I had really wanted to watch I would have gotten the glasses. But I have been in other partial eclipses and nothing much happens, because the sun can be pretty bright, so a partial eclipse can feel like a cloudy day. But since we had good sunshine and nice weather (about 60°F), the darkening was quite noticeable, and the watchers saw the moon partially cover the sun...

I am downstate Illinois, and it definitely dimmed here. I was not in the path of totality, only far southern Illinois was.

We live near the area of totality. It got very dark. Since I didn't have glasses, I watched it on my local news channel. They showed views from the telescope the local astronomy experts set up nearby. They really did a great job. It was spectacular! I'm a retired science teacher so I love these kind of events.

I never though of watching it on the news! But there are some amazing pictures that people posted from all over the US.

In Connecticut, it was supposed to get pretty dark. The hubby and I went out for our usual afternoon long walk around 2:45 (the eclipse was supposed to be full bore at 3:20 pm here). It dimmed somewhat, and then.....nothing. I expected it to get much darker. Nope, not that dark.

I'm in Central Illinois as well. La Salle. The sun was full force all day but by 2:08 it was like a light filter shade was rolling down. Imagine wearing your sunglasses in the house. That's what it was.

I'm in the Southeastern portion of Southern California and I didn't see anything (except in photos) but we weren't really expected to see much in my area. I bet it was a real treat for those who really got to see the full solar eclipse.

I am in NJ and didn't notice a drastic difference. It was cloudy and overcast to begin with. The sky became amber tinged and looked the same as when we had smoke from Canadian wildfires.
