Monday was a day which many bucketlisters could tick off an item on their list... I unfortunately am not one of them. I was incapable of travelling to the best viewing zone, but living in southern Wisconsin we were still well within range to see the eclipse. So, even though I wasn't going to see the full thing, I felt that seeing most of it, was really good enough.
However, come Monday and southern Wisconsin was covered with clouds and so no viewing was really possible. BOOO. I had planned on taking a work break and heading out but it wasn't really worth it. As it was, I could tell when the Eclipse happened as the sky got noticeably darker. All of a sudden it felt like the murky gray clouds were going to storm on me, but it wasn't.
Luckily, the next Solar Eclipse is due out in less than 7 years. Which is a pretty amazing amount of frequency. Even more amazing, the next Eclipse is set to pass through almost perpendicularly over southern Illinois and is a much larger band than this one was. So chances are, for Wisconsin it will be a better eclipse anyway,
That being said, there is a very high chance that I will travel for the next one. I noticed that the 2024 one will be going straight over my brother's head. So I may try to enjoy the Eclipse with my family.
