I really wanted to watch this one.

at least there was NASA's feed. since you seem to be more astronomically edumacated than me, can you tell me if the transit affected the weather on earth in any way?

Hypothetically, the Earth received a tiny bit less solar radiation for half that day. And maybe it affected the stream of electrons between the Sun and us. As to whether that would've risen above the noise of day-to-day random variations...I have no idea! :?
