As mentioned earlier, very little orange coloration at all in the run
up to totality.

That's strange. I was seeing orange coloration halfway through the partial
phases, and a deep dark orange during totality. Also, lookit the photos some
people have already posted. I'm afraid smoke was getting in your eyes.

John, et al:

In the Binghamton NY area it was mostly clear to the northeast of town. At
Kopernik Observatory, where about 150+ people showed up, it was mostly
cloudy until around 11, when it cleared. Near the end of the eclipse we
started getting some ground fog.
