Default A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress -- Look for aurora

Sure is. We had a monster aurora about 3:50 am last night that spiked
at about 4:20 am. Bright greens, reds, towering shafts of light to
nearly 45 deg. off the northern horizon.

Quite a show...


Mike,

We got about 2" of rain last night.

Quite a shower...

Drat!

Actually, it has cleared off here (upstate NY). There might be a gentle
glow low in the N to NW, but that's it. Drat, again.

Clear skies, Alan



If it's any consolation, we got completely boned that way on the big
Leonid shower max a few years back... 8^
