Hahaha, Sorry guys. I've lived within view of them for my whole life. Nothing special there for me. Now, riding to work beside palm trees? Yes, that would be cool.

Not all its cracked up to be on some days man... sand in the face really sucks, as well as the torrential rain that comes out of nowhere while the sun is out too.
 
Re: Northern Lights possible tonight/tomorrow in not-so-northern latitudes...

Awsome!
Thanks for the heads up. My wife is dyeing to see northern lights. Everytime we go camping all she wants to do is go for a walk to the beach to stair up at the sky... I rather sit by the fire and drink. Anyway perhaps tonight's the night. This could score me some brownie points and cash to blow on the bike!
 
Re: Northern Lights possible tonight/tomorrow in not-so-northern latitudes...

Haha, nice.

And yeah, I was wrong. Only tonight, Tuesday eve, are we supposed to get them. Sorry if anyone stayed up looking last night....!

I've seen them so bright you dont need head lights.

on the plus side of the palm trees, you can ride all year and not five months if its not raining or shitty outside.

I've seen them a few times in Montana over the years. Always kind of cool, just because they're not common.

Anyways, this is the biggest solar storm since 2003, should be a good show.
 
Ok, that site reads like stereo instructions :eek:

How far south are we talking here?
 
redbird, looks like as far south as Chicago

Yep, pretty much Canada and northern US states. UK, northern Europe, etc...

I'm planning on doing some long-exposure shots tonight if the cloud cover ever lets up...
 
Thanks ;)
Oh well... Even if I squint real hard I can't see Chicago from here :p ;D

The wife has been wanting to go to Alaska to see the Northern Lights. Thought this might save me from a trip to "freeze my fuzzy white southern ass off" land ;D

Quite true... although I don't really miss living in palm tree land, the blue ridge mountains are the best methinks. And yeah, northern lights are cool, id love to see then again..
 
The Northern Lights is something I really want to see before I die. I've got to head North, waaay North one of these days.

Sadly, no chance of seeing them here tonight, total overcast...as usual :(

Post some pics if anyone gets a good shot of them.
 
Not counting anyone in Alaska, I'm probably one of the most northern in North America. It was only about -8C last night, might have been too warm.
