Default Eclipse wiped out in Toronto

On Jan 3, 3:32*pm, I (Brian Tung) wrote:
I live in the Los Angeles area, but drove up to the San
Francisco Bay Area the night of the eclipse (not for
that purpose, but to visit family). *Southern California
was almost completely clouded out, but the weather began
to clear up as we made our way up north, and by the time
we arrived at about 10:30 (near the start of totality),
it was only partly cloudy. *I was able to make out the
very first nibble of the umbra at the (selenographic)
western edge of the Moon. *But I had to haul our luggage
in.


Hunh, that must have been the penumbra, I suppose.
