    But it's more than just precipitation, it's also the matter of sea level rise, where will all this excess water go? Trust me on this, in a few decades, people will be thinking of places where all this excess water will need to go, because our coastal cities wont be inhabitable by then. About allergies my original solution was to merely find a way to get pollination to be reduced-- a way to population control for all plants. Pollination is a great thing, but excess of anything is terrible and this is a perfect example. If we had a way to limit pollination to what it's normally supposed to be, it would be much better for the environment and for us.

    Not drain, just reduce the amount of water to match the climate we had before before sea level rise and ice melt and the excess precipitation...,. it's all about balance :-) My ideal climate is what we had between 1983-2002. And only kill the ones that cause the allergens, the ones we plant do not cause those. I spray to get rid of weeds weekly starting in April. With our warmer climate these pests are all too prevalent.

    Don, where can I find these forecasts? The nice thing is they are applicable globally so from these we know when to look for aurora pictures on social media lol. Also, do you happen to know of a site that forecasts daily sunspot number as well as the size of the sunspots? We had a huge sunspot last week and I'm wondering if it will still be around to photograph tomorrow afternoon. Thanks!

    Actually it doesn't.... the more it rains the worse our pollen season gets. We need to desiccate the crap that causes allergies to the point it can't pollinate anymore. The horrible increase in rainfall over the last 20 years has made the allergy season much much worse than it was in the 80s and 90s and all the way to 2002. I noticed my allergies were MUCH less last year when we had a very dry and much warmer spring. At this point, we should be spraying herbicides to kill the crap outright. I've already started spraying, but it's not enough, everyone has to do it.

    Did the forecast change, Don? You posted a new one with a 6 hour window of G3.

    Absolutely amazing-- so today was the day the heat began in the historic summer of 1993!

    Wow thanks Don, so it was G5 again from 5 AM to 8 AM this morning.... too bad it was cloudy lol I took pictures around 1 AM which corresponds to 05 UT or 7.67 G4 which is pretty good too. So for tonight G3 conditions will be from 11 PM to 5 AM tomorrow morning.

    Like I said, there's too much water on this planet, time to siphon some of it off to somewhere else.
  9. LibertyBell
    This is pretty good!

    That was the wrong way to go about it, you should have gone to sleep and then wake up at 3 AM. Tonight we'll have more clouds later on so there's less of a chance. I'm hoping they'll still be around Sunday night when the skies will be completely clear.

    aside from the random nice warm dry day (one or two days per week), total solar eclipse, the earthquake(s) and now the northern lights, the last two months have absolutely sucked

    I didn't use my light pollution filter, I wonder how much it would have helped. It's a slot filter that blocks certain wavelengths of light that are most associated with street lights.

    I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 3 am.
  14. LibertyBell
    Nice, I can see the clouds had just cleared and made it below the tops of the trees.
  15. LibertyBell
    Nice-- facing due north and around 3 AM?
  16. LibertyBell
    Looks like we have chances for a few days-- Sunday Night will clear up again and Monday night looks clear too.
  17. LibertyBell
    I am hoping we have some clear skies early tonight to see more of them. When I woke up at 3 am there were still clouds to the north and northwest, but it was clear to the northeast and in other directions, I waited an hour and the whole sky cleared up nicely Where's a good cold front when you need one lol? It was absolutely frigid this morning though, deep blue skies and very low humidity!
  18. LibertyBell
    wow absolutely amazing, and you're in Allentown right? Or nearby? Did you see them as clearly as the pictures you got?
  19. LibertyBell
    blue and purple are the rarest colors to see in Northern Lights, they are from ionized nitrogen!
  20. LibertyBell
    That's absolutely amazing-- they were people saying they looked better in NJ than they ever looked from Iceland lol
  21. LibertyBell
    the sky finally cleared out here a bit after 4 am and in the camera LCD they were easier to see, with my eyes it just looked like the sky was slightly brighter than normal
  22. LibertyBell
    so more amazing northern lights? THIS IS GREAT NEWS!

    Sue them or call the police, light pollution is a health hazard. I have filters that block light pollution. I actually have an idea, set up reflective mirrors or other reflective material and reflect their light pollution right back into their windows. People like that piss me off so bad I would be tossing bricks at their lights.

    I woke up at 3 AM, there was a bank of clouds to the north and northwest. I waited for awhile. Around 4:30 AM it cleared out so I took pictures from 4:30 AM to 5 AM. It would have been better had this happened in the winter when our nights are longer, but it was still sufficiently dark at that time to take images.
  25. LibertyBell
    wow what time and what direction did you look-- North? and how bright were they with your eyes?
