I’m writing this from the Anchor Bar on the US side of Niagara Falls. We left the GTA at 10 and crossed the border at 11:30. Zero traffic and zero wait. Parking is normally free for the restaurant but today is $10 USD for 2 hours, or $40 if you want to park all day. I had to come anyways to pick up some packages from my mail service, so I figured I might as well try today. Luckily I didn’t have to turn around in frustration. I’m sure things will get crazy around 2. And if the clouds ruin the viewing we can still go shopping and maybe hit Cheesecake Factory.
Yeah - told my daughter to head for Port Dover - at the very least get a feed of perch.

April 8 total solar eclipse and path of totality: Live updates
A total solar eclipse will put on a dramatic show today as it crosses over Mexico, the United States and Canada. Follow here for updated weather forecasts and news from the ground.
Not a damn thing to see through the cloud cover in Mississauga...
We had a couple of cloud breaks as it was just starting here. Looking at the satellite maps we may get lucky at or just after the peak for Mississauga and Etobicoke.
My welding helmet is much better for viewing than the glasses, but the glasses do work OK.

Same thing in Toronto DT.
Skies opened up right when it was getting close. Looked up and saw the moon pop in front of the sun. Very cool.
Got dark as hell with all street lights and garden lights on solar turn on.
Very cool. See ya in 144 years.

It was very cool in Grimsby. Clouds cleared up enough that we got a good view of totality. Otherwise before and after, sometimes clouds were too thick to see much through eclipse glasses but got an amazing view through welding helmet
Kinda disappointed in the lack of mayhem though

My sister is currently in Grimsby at a friend's house, said it was awesome.
