Alien light show...ON NOW!
Have you ever seen the Northern Lights a.k.a. the Aurora Borealis before? Like up close in person? Like you were right under it and not only seeing it through the glass windows of your TV? If yes, good for you! If no, join the club! :)
Ever since my friend mentioned the Northern Lights and how we’ll go and see it, I’ve been semi-obsessed! I’ve made it a habit to check the Aurora Borealis visibility forecast every day now. I go to this website: http://www.gedds.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/ where they give short term visibility forecasts good for about 2 or 3 days at a time. And I hear that the peak visibility times of the Aurora B is during the winter!
It’s just exciting! I can’t wait for when we drive out of Winnipeg with our friends, with our blankets and hot coco in tow just to sit in the dark and go "ooohhh" and "aaahhh" at the light show above. :)
I saw them in Churchill in December 2005; they were breathtaking, and (for me, anyway) impossible to accurately describe. I hope you get a good show!
