- April 08 2024 - Total Solar Eclipse - Cowansville,
Quebec
-
- I live in Toronto and Niagara Falls
was in the path of totality and close to home, but after looking
closely at the weather forecast for several days, it became clear
that the Eastern Townships of Quebec was going to be the place
with the best chances of having clear skies for the eclipse.
-
- I ended up in Cowansville Quebec after
an overnight stay in Montreal, and the eclipse was as amazing
as I was expecting it to be. It has been 7 years since my last
eclipse (which was also my first), and I was eagerly anticipating
this. Our position was perfect and our location got 3 minutes
and 23 seconds of totality.
-
- Because the sun is very active right
now, we got a great view of red solar prominences along with
the spectacular corona. What sight to behold, especially with
the naked eye during totality.
-
- The adventure wasn't without it's setbacks.
We ended up with a flat tire right before the eclipse, but luckily
we found a place in town that was able to help us out. It worked
out well, because as we were getting the tire fixed, it gave
us time to let the traffic disperse a bit.
