THE STORM HAS FIZZLED: As predicted, a CME (pictured below) hit Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of Dec. 10th (1:30 UT), but the impact did not cause a geomagnetic storm. Mid-latitude auroras are not likely tonight.

Boo!

I've never used this website, is it accurate?

It’s a very well run site. I’ve probably looked at it once a day for well over a decade. In fact I’ve actually subscribed to their Spaceweather phone service for probably 15 years now. It’s kind of stupid during solar minimum but that’s also the time when storms are the least likely and might be missed. (They will notify you 24/7 if northern lights are visible at your location) Plus they give you a lot of other updates.

Just wanted to make sure, my buddy just called me we were going to head out to boonies to try to see them tonight. Thanks!

Breaks in the clouds this evening are allowing for some better viewing of the night sky. Unfortunately the geomagnetic storm expected tonight appears to be weaker than originally expected, and the "Northern Lights" don't appear to be as likely tonight for the area.

Ok... Who knows clouds?  Would this be a “Fallstreak Hole”?

Looks like a fallstreak hole to me.  There even appears to be virga falling out of that hole in the mid level cloud deck where the supercooled water droplets froze and precipitated.

Heavy frost on the cars this morning. Woo-wee! Looks like winter...I have declined to discussing frost depths as if I'm a poster on the Mid-Atlantic subforum.

My frost is thicker than yours!

I'm actually in Queens for work yesterday and today, heaviest frost I've seen down here in a long time.
