I kept my eyes open on the way north through Nashua, NH a short time ago but didn’t see anything.
Here it gets dark around 9:30pm but in the winter it starts getting ark at 3:30pm.
Days are starting to get shorter now though.
I used to date Aurora Schmeltzer back in the ‘60s (the decade not her age!)
No areolas either...
I sat on my honches for ten minutes while fixing my TV. When I stood up I definitely saw auras.
...nope...not gonna touch this one....just too easy....its Sunday afternoon and must be good.
DH said a little while ago that the Weather Channel (weather.com) had/ has a time lapse of the auroras on their website.
It would take a much bigger CME (or maybe some kind of variables that I’m unaware of) for me to see them since I’m in S Texas. Around Houston did get some good red skies back in 2003.
If you’re in northern Cali, I’d be outside (especially if higher elevation anyway). Spaceweather is showing the Bz is south, so it’s possible.
The admin at spacew.com has issued a warning for the middle latitudes & their little “lights” are showing strong for higher lats & possible for middle.
Good luck & Clear skies!
"Roar a roar for Nora,
Nora Ellis in the night,
For she has seen Aurora
Borealis burning bright."
Sorry, I couldn't help myself...
No, but if you see her, can you get her recipe for Chicken Pepperoni ?
Aw geez, the sun just set a bit ago, maybe I check later, yeah?
I’m in Edmonton, Alberta.
I’m at a high enough altitude that I can definitely see them, if their out. But it’s cloudy tonight.
In mid-Minnesota, seeing some great ones!

I idn’t see any auroras here. I’m just south of Tacoma an there’s too much skyglow from the Seattle-Tacoma area.
HOWEVER...within 10 seconds of looking skyward, I DID see a shooting star! Good enough for me.
I should be able to see them here in WV, but there is some kind of curse that every time a celestial event occurs, it clouds over.
Of course we do rival the Pacific NW as the cloudiest area in the US. I love it here, but it’s not the best place to be an amateur astronomer.
Only after eating a Taco Bell meat burrito.
