Northern Lights

If anyone within a hundred miles or so of the Canadian border and west of, maybe, western MN is interested the aurora is pretty bright right now.

Seems to have been above average activity this season.

According to some reports I read earlier today, from NASA and NOAA, there have been some very powerful solar flares this week. That activity increases the chances of a visible aurora, or so say the various pros from Dover.

The other day the sky was almost completely green here, unfortunately it was rather late and I needed sleep to get to work.

I have a place about 60 miles South of Lake Superior in NW WI. Have caught the Northern lights at least a half dozen times this year. To be able to walk or drive the 4 wheeler to the center of the lake and see them in al, their glory is pretty special.

One of my grandsons is on the Montana State University Northern football team. The team is called “The Northern Lights“. The ladies teams (basketball and volleyball) are called the “Skylights”. The team mascots are polar bears; “Boris“ for the men, “Aurora” for the ladies. As if MT was polar bear country…
