as a young person in upstate NY we actually saw an aurora from our back yard...we lived in the country....
Years ago I lived outside of Oneonta.
The skies at night were magnificent.
There was one I saw in Upstate in March of 1990.
My son was only a couple months old is why I remeber it.
It was spectacular.
There have been a few other weak ones but nothing of note.
We live in NH now where it’s generally a lot clearer, but still haven’t seen a good one yet.
Same here. I have seen them in NYS.
So they’re telling me that if I was back in upstate NY I could see something I already have. Now if it was visible here south of the Mason- Dixon Line, that would be something. I guess I’ll just have live with my memories of Aurora’s Boringowlass.
