New York State Thruway Warns DO NOT DO THIS

You can't miss the news. The Solar Eclipse is happening on April 8, if you haven't heard. The New York State Thruway Authority has put out a post on a few things they DO and DO NOT want you to do.

The eclipse will happen just after 3 PM on April 8 and Buffalo, New York is one of the most ideal places to watch the eclipse because it will be COMPLETE darkness in the City of Good Neighbors, which is on the line of totality. Some hotels in the Western New York area have been sold out while commanding top dollar for rooms. There are some that are not in the downtown area that have some very reasonable prices and rooms open for you. In fact, some of the hotels actually have a 2-night minimum. Officials in Western New York have noted that they expect up to one million people to be coming in from out of town.
