Cloudy conditions obscure partial solar eclipse in Dickinson County

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. (WZMQ) – Despite overcast skies, residents gathered atop Millie Hill to catch a glimpse of the partial solar eclipse. Eclipse viewers got to see just a few minutes of the solar spectacle before cloud cover rolled in.

Candace Alexander, a Bay College student and Iron Mountain resident, shared her experience, saying, “I brought my glasses today, I actually got them from the library here in town. I hurried up this morning. I didn’t think I was going to get any.”

Among the spectators were Zak and his 4-year-old son, Theo Duby, who expressed excitement as his father showed him the view through a pair of viewing glasses.

Reflecting on the event, Alexander, with a keen interest in zoology, noted the peculiar bird behavior she observed, stating, “I think it’s really cool to see their reaction, because I’m currently going to school for zoology. So I’m very interested to watch how they react to this, because a friend told me that they watch all the birds just fly away from the trees in big groups, and he said it’s really crazy to see in person.”

Kate Linstad, a machinist at Boss Snowplow, took the day off to witness the eclipse. Despite the cloud cover, she was excited to catch glimpses of the phenomenon from the lookout point on Millie Hill. Linstad stated, “I live on Lake Antoine, and we thought this would be a better view.”

Linstad pointed, “You can see it again, look! You can see it. Like we could first see it when it started to take the bite out. It was so cool.”

The Duby family, who ordered their viewing glasses online, received them just in time for the eclipse despite a shipment delay due to a snowstorm. Even Alexander managed to catch a glimpse through a break in the clouds around 1:35 PM, describing it as “a teeny glimpse in the break of the clouds. It kind of looked like the sliver of the moon.”
