I missed the last time a similar event caused displays of the 'aurora borealis' in more southern latitudes than usual - might be worth a look on Tuesday night?? |
I'll be having a lookout. I flew to bloody Iceland over Christmas/New Year and stood on the roadside in the middle of nowhere at -20C for a couple of hours hoping to see the Northern lights. All I saw was some snow covered fields, and I got extremely cold boots...
It would be good to just brush the curtains aside and go: oh look, Aurora Borealis, that's nice...

Ef that. I want to see the Northern Lights.
