My best shot from fairly early in the proceedings. You can see it...
But maybe not at low res.

I expect Dallas to administer a beating to the Sabres tonight. I've seen them a few times recently and they are playing at a whole different level.
My policy is to never expect that. It's the NHL and it's a long season. Not sure what the Stars have to play for, but they could easily look past the Sabres, who are more than capable of beating the best. Inexplicably and probably to their credit, they won't quit.

Of course. They should.

I think it's a symptom, not the disease.

I’m all for a new head coach and I’m not sure I even want to mention the pathetic looking assistants. They need to be fired before they explode out of their clothes. Do the Sabres have a dietitian? Can the coaches get some advice? Sheesh.
And what the hell is Ellis gnawing?

From TBN.
The way he helped the Sabres score goals won't be found on any stat sheet. "One day during practice I was leaning against the door at the end of the rink in Memorial Auditorium," he said. "I had my foot at the bottom of the door and John Tucker shoots the puck around the boards. It hit right where my foot was. I told him to do it again and I kept my foot in the same spot. The puck bounced right out into the slot. I knew I was on to something."
It wasn't unusual to see Palmer in that same spot during Sabre games, putting his foot down at just the right moment. "It happened maybe 10 or 12 times a year," he said.
It became so common that some teams included it in their scouting reports. Others complained to the referees. Others went even further.
"When Daren Puppa was the goaltender with Tampa Bay, their backup was Wendell Young," Palmer said. "And he had also been in Pittsburgh the year before with Tom Barrasso, another (ex-Sabre) who knew I did it.
"So one night Young starts cussing me out and said he was going to punch me out. I got a little scared that night."
Did Palmer's help ever result in a Sabres goal? "Oh, one or two," he said with a smile.

That's up there for best one liners on the board since... The last total solar eclipse.

I met people from/staying in Olean, Bradford, and a point in between (Limestone-ish). I wish you and I had crossed paths as well.
We did. I'm the one you slipped the tongue.
To my angst about the forecast. The whole rapid clearing west to east was talked about so late. I actually picked it up on the cloud imaging site Don Paul was pushing. I will temper my bum epithet and just say they have a challenging job but dropped the ball.
With a tiny bit more advanced warning I would have gone straight to Erie ish.
That said, it's corny but things happen for a reason sometimes. I hung out with a grandpa and two little ones who started out from Harrisburg and ended up in that Walmart lot. Very heartwarming.
I don't know who he voted for nor did I care. Events like this show us how much more we have in common. Not sure it will move the needle of division, but it's nice to be reminded.
Also... Clouds are cool.

And now the sun is out in Western New York.
Not a cloud in the sky here. smh

I saw it. Frequent breaks in the clouds. Pink, some green, I liked it.
I saw the pink too. Almost rainbow like.

It was so sunny driving west. Now not so much. Meanwhile back home it looks to be now clear(er).
Such is life.

I drove west to Corry PA and have planted my flag at a Walmart. Mix of sun and clouds. Got to see the start of the eclipse but now clouds are winning out. What a beautiful sky with so many cool clouds. It's almost like they are saying we are worth looking at too. Gotta get lucky for totality.

The clouds are really ripping along. I would feel bad for SDS if they reach him sooner than expected.
Fingers crossed.

NWS Buffalo really impressing. Clouds will move in this afternoon? Look at the imagery above. Like the ending... You do the work, folks.
The cloud forecast for Western NY is tricky, as mid to low clouds will move into the area this afternoon. There still could be some breaks in these, but these localized breaks will be fairly sparse and difficult to forecast since they will vary from location to location. Looking at upstream satellite imagery, there is some reason for optimism for Western NY since skies are clearing a bit faster from the west than most model guidance shows. It`ll take a little bit of luck to get this clearing into Western NY in time for the eclipse, but for areas from Buffalo west, the visible satellite imagery is the best tool to monitor.

About an hour difference. Do we have a shot?

We are currently at the University of Vermont in Burlington Vermont. Just finished breakfast. However, the forecast looks like we’re on the edge of clouds. Given how far we’ve come, I think we’re gonna drive another 90 minutes to Newport, Vermont to maximize our chances.
Got this resource?
Don Paul mentioned it in the News.

Clouds seem to be moving to the east a little faster than thought. Maybe some miracle chance there will be peaks of sun in five hours?

Not a cloud in the sky yesterday and today, but we will wake up cloudy skies tomorrow and it looks like they will remain all day. God farts on Buffalo once again. 😂
The Hockey Gods were not to be outdone, what with PK sticking a fork in the Sabres.

Why would you go to Buffalo? Aren’t you getting a total eclipse where you are located? I would not want to be on any roads anywhere near Buffalo for this. Just find a nice quiet hay field on some back road (even just the shoulder of the road) or any school soccer field anywhere around there. That’s what I would do.
I would drive an hour or two to see it if local conditions are poor, but there still isn't good guidance on where that might be. Burlington VT and Akron OH, sure.
The original point of this thread was to ask if being near the shoreline would make sense on an otherwise cloudy day inland.

Candy could move on the ice for a big man.

Will Buffalo be a good place to see the total eclipse of the sun?

Ouch. You seem as bitter as I am about yesterday.
