Photo: ReutersBoston: Getting ready to watch the solar eclipse? Bring a sweater along with those special glasses because the mercury could dip as the moon’s shadow crosses the land. “You’re not forecasting a day’s weather, but for two minutes.”The chill in the air will peak about five to 20 minutes after the moon’s shadow passes by. As many as 12,000 megawatts of solar power will vanish along the path of the moon’s shadow along with the decrease in temperatures. Well, North America gets another crack at a total solar eclipse in April 2024.
