LOOK: Scenes From The Solar Eclipse Across Western New York

So, what’d you think?

After months (and for some of us, years) of anticipation, the hyped 2024 total solar eclipse in Western New York has come and gone. 

Even though cloudy skies threatened to damper the day, for those who stepped outside in their eclipse-viewing glasses, it was an amazing and unforgettable experience. Some areas of Western New York lucked out just in time when the clouds broke just before totality at 3:18pm.

Other parts of the Buffalo area weren’t so lucky, but the eerie darkness and the gasps from their fellow eclipse watchers still managed to bring goosebumps.

It was smooth sailing, and overall, the day of the 2024 Buffalo Eclipse will be a fantastic one to remember.
