Should have been able to see it from here, but it was too cloudy. I've
always wanted to see one but not this time, sadly.

http://www.spaceweather.com/ is a good site for watching for probable
displays, plus anything else that is happening in the sky.

is the current auroral spread.

Nice tonight but too late here. I always live in hope (being so far
south)

Not that I'll be too insomniac tonight after digging the last raised
bed at the lottie...
