Aurora Borealis visible in Northern US tonight

Does not look like it to me http://helios.swpc.noaa.gov/ovation/

:(

Bad news: cloud cover over most of northern USA will significantly decrease odds of seeing it :(

I was planning on driving out from Chicago to WI or IN. :(

Clear sky and good transparency here in MD with no sign of aurorae.

I grew up in Carson City, NV, which is between San Francisco and Denver in latitude.

When the Russians decommissioned Mir, there was this strange red splotch in the sky. People came out of their houses to speculate on what it could be. (A bunch of people thought it was related to the satellite - some people thought it got nuked.) Turned out to be an aurora borealis. It was only visible for a couple hours, so by the time my dad got his camera out and drove into the mountains, it had faded.

I grew up thinking auroras were these neat things reserved for Scandinavians and Alaskans - never thought I'd see one in the lower 48.

I bet they're more impressive up north, though.

According to the Ovation report, the Borealis is well north of the US / Canada border: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/pmap/pmapN.html and https://twitter.com/GarySzatkowski/status/323252624713469952...

Winnipeg, Canada. Clear skies, but the aurora wasn't very bright. Just barely made it out.

If you've never seen the it before, it's worth going outside to check it out if you are in the right areas. Saw it when I was younger in Missouri, pretty spectacular!

I'm in VA and planning to head out to Leesburg unless someone in the area knows of a better location to try to catch the display.

Beautiful clear skies here in Berks County PA. I'm supposed to be able to see the auroras, but there is nothing yet to see.

Haven't seen anything yet in Pennsylvania.

I'm in NYC now and have been watching the sky for the last few hours. No joy yet....

Ugh never fails. Every time there's northern lights visible it's cloudy. :(

I'm near Pittsburgh; sky looks clear but no sign of anything yet.
