The effects of the small solar flares of the 13th and 14th of February 2010
have reached the ACE satellite have already begun to be observed by
magnetometers in the Alaskan Chain.
We expect auroral activity at least equal to that of Estimated Planetary
Index, Kp = 4. A map of the expected midnight distribution of aurora is
attached to this email.
Aurora should thus be visible tonight (February 15/16, 2010) from Northern
Russia, Southern Scandinavia, Scotland, Iceland, Southern Greenland, The
Canadian Maritimes, the northern tier of the United States, and Southern
Alaska.

So, of course, it's cloudy and flurrying here at the Aerie. Not a chance of seeing if the lights could be visible from here.
How very cool is that?! I know we weren't in the parameters, but I'm going out to look at the night sky anywhooo.(1230am here)
