SpaceGhost Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 http://www.noaa.gov/features/01_economic/spaceweather_2.html Forecast, looks like northern michigan, but I may go out to see if we can see them anyway. http://www.gedds.alaska.edu/auroraforecast/ Ideally I think we need a 7 on the scale. Tonight is a 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Considering our latitude and the amount of light pollution in central Ohio, this is the only aurora anyone here's going to be seeing: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/96_oldsmobile_aurora_4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 it will in fact remain overcast. in the mean time ill be updating the wx thread shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Even if it were clear and you could turn off every light in central Ohio, you wouldn't see the aurora tonight. It's full moon. That's one thing the forecasters get consistently right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yeah I usually drive into Moro (SP) county to see them. My wife and I saw one in the early 2000s it was awesome. We pulled over along a field. It was cold as hell in the middle of winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
