Probably is. What a miss by the models - so small they just can’t see it well?

Good news sickos. In one month: EURO OP is going to 360 hours. Off hour runs are going all the way to 144.

First flakes in WV mountains next Tuesday? GFS says maybe.

I think it’s more the cameras that have improved rather than the satellites. Everyone now carries a $1000 camera with them at all times. We’ve realized we don’t need G5s or K9 or whatevers to see Aurora in the mid-Atlantic.

My theory is social media vastly has increased awareness… plus phone camera exposure and night mode being so readily acceptable. Think Aurora is probably visible from Shenandoah a dozen+ times a year during the years of solar maximum. Wouldn’t have known that in the past because no one tried… or if they did it wasn’t shared out.

Earlier near Whites Ferry.

Get out right now. Visible in Arlington proper.

Rumor is as soon as darkness. I’m hoping it holds until 10-midnight. Want a solid dinner before staying up all night lol.

Going out tonight. Least into Arlington from DC. Maybe to the mountains.

Another shot tonight. Northern Marylanders should stick their heads out right now… looks promising.

Missed it by a day. Folks should go out and try tonight if they have the ability!

NHC says we have TD14.

My night is being spent at the Young (last year being “young”) Alumni Reunion for UVA… so I’m gonna make a call of whether I can *really* get out to the mountains after the party. Otherwise, gonna drive towards localized darkness and see if I can get a photo. Light pollution gets a lot better even down to Covesville. Just need to find a north view!
