OT- Northern Lights

[CuseTroop]

My facebook is blowing up with pictures of the northern lights all over upstate NY and down the east coast. If you haven't gone outside to look yet, go see if they're out there. Keep checking throughout the night, usually the later the better. If your in an area with a lot of light pollution, jump in the car and head out of town a little.

Hope you get to see them!

Almost zero light pollution where I live but the freaking clouds are covering 95% of the sky.

It works better with a few people, but if you get a big belly full of air and blow out as hard as you can in the direction of the clouds, you can usually push them outa the way

Ya. I’m camping on the Canadian border, and you would think we could see them. Nope. Too many freaking clouds!!

They were visible to the naked eye just West of Watertown. I got some cool photos. Pretty neat experience. If you used your phone camera they likely would have shown.

about what time was this? WE had clouds up until I went to bed. I kick myself for not getting up in middle of night

My best pics were between 10-11pm. I heard it got even better by midnight but I was in bed by then.

Northern Lights?
I just rub my eyes real hard

Another one. I had incredible viewing for about 25 min

Oh my. Jealous. I couldn’t see anything last night in Charlottesville.

Seeing the northern lights live / in person is a bucket list item for me. My wife and I are camping out on Lake Ontario tonight to hopefully see them. Camping is NOT my idea - I am old and a freaking WUSS who gets sick if I read an article about it getting cold!! I just can't argue with the chance of seeing the lights, outweighs my WUSSness.

Let’s hope this isn’t a precursor to something really bad.

We're already down our two top DTs. That's bad enough.
