Juliancolton Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 We pray this lasts until tonight, and then we pray for clear conditions. Kp 8 might normally facilitate visible aurora as far south as northern Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on what might be decent vantage points around the valley to view an aurora? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ha, I came on specifically to ask you about that! Any suggestions on what might be decent vantage points around the valley to view an aurora? Heh, glad to help. If I were chasing, I'd probably try to find a spot like this one along the river, with a clear view to the north(ish). There must be a suitable hilltop somewhere, but I can't immediately think of it... obviously the further north you get, the better. Anybody ambitious enough to head for the Ashokan would probably have a great view looking north from the causeway (Reservoir Road I think?); it's got minimal light pollution, some extra latitude, and a fairly unobstructed horizon. It'd be a bit of a haul for most folks, but this is the first Kp 8 geomagnetic storm in four or five years, so who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The storm threat threads are becoming unreadable again. It really makes you want to skip these threads and just wait to post in the observation thread when the storm gets underway. truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeWeatherGeek Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Okay your right I made a mistake at least I admit it. I was just busting chops with forky as he always picks on me and this is actually the first time I picked on him. Sorry. Also at least there was snow for Boston breaking their all time snow record but the norlun did not setup the way I thought.

WHITE PLAINS AIRPORT 56 400 PM 3/17 ASOS That's a very solid high end WA event even low end HWW. Surprised not even an advisory.Small branches down on campus. And leaves everywhere which I now have to remove. Not terribly damaging as we had the trees culled real well the last few years but we have been through that at length to the point it's getting boring. Back in the 80s this could have been the windiest day in any given year and turned heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NycStormChaser Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Got some new camera gear, want to try and see the northern lights tonight. Anyone know the best places in Northern New Jersey to set up? Places like high point would be ideal, although I know the gates aren't open all night. Maybe places along the Delaware water gap? It's probably not going to be too visible, but I'll get some sunrise shots either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
