Northern Lights!

I had been hoping we would see the northern lights again as they were so cool last time! But last time was an extremely good time for them so I knew we might not. And it has been so rainy and cloudy there wasn’t much of a chance even if they were there. I downloaded some apps to get notifications to check, the one I used last time (Hello Aurora) and a few others just to see…and the others gave me no notifications! So I’m sticking with the good app from last time. But last night we went to bed at 10 and about 10:20 my watch buzzed that there is a weak aurora possible. I did get up and look out the window, but I was like I’m not getting all bundled up if it just looks like clouds and we can’t tell…and I saw nothing through the window so jumped back into bed. Then 10 min later I got another notification, this time for a medium one, so I got out of bed and looked again and you could see a bit of it! So we put on warm clothes as quick as we could and headed outside to see! It wasn’t nearly as bright as most of the ones last time, but still so much fun! They are so cool! Just the movement is so strange and fun! Where we were camped was not the best place for it - so many lights! But it worked. We were out about 20 min before they faded away. I had just earlier that day reconciled myself to not seeing them again and it had been cloudy when it got dark so it was an unexpected surprise!Read more
