There are towns a short drive north with totality (Colebrook & Errol NH, Rangeley ME), but there are predictions of Woodstock levels of traffic gridlock from the throngs of eclipse chasers invading the small towns. I wish this event was happening in the summer. It would be the perfect excuse for a short local bike trip. I think I'll stay home and be happy with 98.7%!
keep in mind that 98% eclipse is nothing like total eclipse. It’s like a cloudy day or dusk. Whereas total eclipse is of course total eclipse . If you are at all close to where total eclipse is, go there.
