    We did! Temp drop was noticeable, had a hoodie on and still needed a blanket. Fun stuff! I did not notice when the birds stopped chirping, but it was interesting going from silence to hearing them and seeing them flying around again. Ours looked alot like Chvymn99 's, but no clouds here.

    Clouded up sumpthin fierce here right before the peak. Looks like a normal dreary day right before a storm. Turkeys put themselves to bed.

    Mine didn't put themselves away... they wondered towards the coop...but it probably didn't help that I had just thrown 20 pounds of mash out in the pen for them....

    wildwest .... yea, crickets were chirping pretty good...

    The sun isn't 100% back yet, but you can see on the graph in the upper right hand corner, we dropped about 7°F

    You can see the temps are now coming back up. Pretty cool!

    No biggie. From what I was told, the light barely dimmed here and as we were only at 62% so it didn't do much unless you had the glasses to look at the sun.
