Even in the solar minimum, we can get good solar storms. Strong aurora's were spotted in NY and Illinois and Montana overnight last night, and the intensity is still hanging on through the day today.

Might be worth dragging out the tripod for tonight still too...

Thick clouds overhead tonight with rain and possibly snow here in Michigan. :frown:

Snow and overcast in Canada's Northwest Territories for the next several days. No Aurora, but we did have a foot of light Hollywood style snow today. A trip in the country tomorrow!

9:20 PM with mostly clear skies right now and no activity yet. Perhaps a little later.

So rub it in!!! :-)
It has rained nonstop here in Oregon for the last 8 days, very serious floods, trees loose, houses and cars washed away, and now another huge storm is coming this weekend - with 60 mph winds to uproot the trees.
Surely no Auroroa HERE tonight! :frown:
Wish us all luck. I'm 20 ft over my river, but many are not.
