We had light snow here in the late afternoon, but the sky started to clear up around 7pm. Some of the grandchildren came over, along with other friends of our children, to experience the event together. I set up a couple telescopes and had a pair of binoculars, so we all got a pretty good look. It was truly beautiful. We also got to see Saturn, Mars, and the Orion Nebula.

Here's one picture I took through my 8" SCT. It was just after the start of totality.
