Do you have access to a car?

I'd be willing to drive to see them.

Would have been about a 6 hr drive one way...too far!

I crossed my mind that the ramp up of the sun’s activity may be causing the crazy weather patterns we’ve been seeing this year.

I was able to get a small amount of color thru the clouds around midnight last night but nothing near what the east side of MT was seeing.

Some green and purple colors

The Earth escaped a near Carrington event a few days ago...about 20 hours off from lights out everywhere...for a long time.

That's why the northern lights are strong...and that was a miss.

Just in case mankind has forgotten who the boss is in this solar system.

That could be...it's been a crazy winter up here this year. And it's still not over yet..snowing today.

I was in the Army's artic survival school in 75. We were north of the Artic circle, in Feb, really cold. If you haven't spent a day running around in snow shoes, you are missing out. Dead tired, 10 pm, and you know 4 am is coming, but we are all standing out watching the best light show in the world. Johhny Hortens song about the Northern lights running wild is a minor description. It was like God was waving a large bull whip. Been all over the world being there is one of my best memories.

Wow...that would be amazing...I have yet to catch them really good here...seems when they are really good and lighting up the sky...we are clouded in! I have actually spent a day running around in snow shoes...it's a heck of a workout!

Thank you for your service too!
