That's what was most surprising to me. You're used to seeing it get dark at night every night... but it gets orange before it gets dark. With an eclipse, it doesn't get orange. In 2017 my brain's auto-white-balance function had a lot of trouble with this and everything looked strangely blue. I was also surprised by the temperature drop and stillness.

This time, it looks like it's going to be cloudy. I have no idea what to expect.
