Aurora Borealis is Back!


There should be great weather for viewing the Aurora Borealis (or northern lights) the next few nights.

Generally clear skies overhead and to the north have already allowed some folks in Wisconsin to take in the awesome sight. I saw the northern lights for the first time just a few years ago while coming back from the Northwoods of Wisconsin. The sight was so awe-inspiring I exited the interstate and stood outside the car for quite a while even though the temperature was near 0°F! The lights danced across the horizon...with mainly green and blue hues. I could have stayed out there forever (if it wasn't for the cold and the fact I had to get back to Rockford).

Enjoy a few more pictures and keep an eye to the northern horizon in the coming weeks and months! -ERIC
