All the talk was about the possibility of Aurora this weekend. Did anyone see it in the continental US see it?
Here it cloudy and rainy all weekend. Actually since Oct. 20.

Last night clear, did not see it.
Could be the mountain we are on rising to the north side blocked it as there is limited north sky visible.

There were a few pictures posted on flickr, the best ones from Europe (Iceland). There were some from Canada, but in general they thought it did not live up to the expectations.

That's what I gathered, as nothing posted here or mentioned on web after the fact. Canada and Iceland are pretty normal, but down as far as southern WV would be rare which is what some were predicting. Glad we didn't try to drive 1000 miles to nearest clear location.

I did save 15% on my car insurance, caught two nice brown trout and a cutthroat.
Great week.

Our local Portland meteorologist said the geomagnetic storm was not as intense as predicted, so it was a weak Aurora. It's unusual for an Aurora to be seen this far south, but they had high hopes for this one.

Camera caught a tiny bit of color through break in the clouds. For the most part it blew by, missing us.

I read that it was a no show. The burst didn't aim directly at the earth plus other technical mumbo jumbo.

Yes, for me it was a no show. The aurora or Lady A as she is called,, did not make an appearance through the clouds. We are very lucky here in Alaska as she frequently visits.

Haven't seen the aurora here in ATL since 1986. I under appreciated it when I lived further north.
