Anyone see the Northern Lights?

With the recent solar storm, there will probably be more chances to view the Northern Lights. I'm about 60 miles north of NYC, so we almost never see them, but I thought maybe this time. . . I checked at about 10 PM and we were completely clouded in, so that was that.

Anyone see them? If so, where?

Any good sites on predicting them?

I am near Boston and didn't see them. Supposedly last night was a real big night from 9PM to 3AM so I am sure they were visible around me.

I forgot about it, but I have seen them so many times before that it wasn't a big deal, but for anyone who hasn't seen them at full power it is incredible. I can just imagine what the natives thought.

We had clouds and snow last night- Freezing rain this am - so no luck here.

This is a link I got from a buddy in Fairbanks.

Awesome display up here last night, or rather this morning, 1 a.m. or so. Didn't get any pictures but they were great!

Got up to let dog at at 2am, lights going pretty darn good. Not so much at my 4:30am dog walk and hot tub. Somewhat limited viewing due to broken high clouds.

They were out though, some awesome photos out there:

Sorry, Dude. I didn't know that was your home. I'll be sure to park on down the street a ways in the future.
