Maybe I should have been a little longer on the details:
There have been multiple solar flares recently, one of which is expected to impact Earth in time
to give a spectacular Aurora display on New Year's Eve.


Else I would have to look for my "wtf?" button.

I just thought you mis-typed snow to show. But IDGAS if you use a "wtf". I'm not about PC either.

The remark refers to a conversation we had on here about getting a "wtf" button.
I said we need two buttons.
"wtf?" would refer to a simple misunderstanding or typo,
and WTF!" would refer to someone who seems to have dropped acid before posting.

The show here was stunning. We were still pretty jet lagged from out trip to Texas and missed much of it. There will be others.

Lights were supposed to be visible possibly as far south as San Francisco.

google ronn murray photography and see some awesome stuff. You can watch a live feed camera too. It's the aurora cam.

The snow is almost all gone and there are green buds on the trees ready to pop out. This is unheard of in April. I blame that big El Nino more than global warming.

Anyway, the weather is gorgeous - I've already gone for lovely walks and bike rides.

In news of the weird, someone stopped me in Walmart and wanted a hug because they loved my shirt. It was advocating fictitious characters for President 2016. More reasons to avoid Walmart...

My seedlings are growing well in my garage and I wear shorts a lot more - I mean, when they low is only in the 30s and the sun is shining, you know its going to be a warm day later. Ww;re getting into the *60's*!!

Yep, this global warming/climate change thing is really disastrous.
Read earlier this morning that Earth's average temp in 1996 was 57.6 degrees.
Average Earth's temp in 2016 is 57.6 degrees.

You should be getting another awesome show this week, assuming the weather isn't too cloudy.

Not really enough dark anymore. I think it's "dark" for an hour or two from 1:30--3:30. Maybe.

We're almost into constant daylight even when the sun sets because of civil twilight.

[Mestral]

Wow. I didn't expect that to be for a couple more weeks.
Oh, well, next fall, I guess.

The ionosphere has been getting pounded by magnetic storms for the past few days.
Should be making for some interesting viewing. That is one thing I wish I could see.

A friend of mine took this picture 2 or 3 nights ago.
