The Northern Lights are Running Wild

Fantastic Northern Lights last night and -40F this morning, classic March weather.  It should warm up to -10F today and we'll be mushing dogs around the lake.

Here's what's happening tonight:


Forecast: Auroral activity will be active. Weather permitting, active auroral displays will be visible overhead as far south as Anchorage, Alaska, Trondheim, Norway and Igarka, Russia, and visible low on the horizon in Montreal, Stockholm, Helsinki and Yakutsk, Russia.
Forecaster Comments: The large solar event that took place on March 5 should lead to enhanced auroral activity starting on the 7th of March GMT. The solar debris was not directed toward Earth, but the advancing front will combine with a fast stream in the solar wind to produce auroral activity indexed at Kp=4 or greater.
