Audrey Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 While I don't enjoy the snow and -15°C, I am truly enjoying the display of Northern Lights tonight. I wish I had a camera that could capture it, but alas! I do not. At any rate, here's to the awesomeness that is nature. Who needs tv when you get a light show like this? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Oh, my DH would be sooooo jealous! He has convinced himself that they are a myth. :lol: *I've* seen several displays of awesomeness that are the Aurora Borealis, having grown up in SK. DH has never seen them, in real life, and they are never out when we visit. We even lived in ND for a year, and he had high hopes of at least seeing them once. Nope. My family even called and woke us up at 2:00 a.m. once so he could go out to see them. By the time we got out there, we just barely saw them disintegrating into nothingness, almost an optical illusion. Poor guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The northern lights have seen queer sights But the queerest they ever did see, Was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge When I cremated Sam McGee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 We were watching them tonight too on our drive back home, we have only seen them twice out here. It was hard to keep my eyes on the highway when I wanted to keep turning to look at the lights while the kids oohed and ahhed. They are going to do some work tomorrow in school focused on them (nature journal entry, water color painting, 1/2 report) since it is such a treat to see them.

Satori Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Aw, I am from Wisconsin and I'd see the Northern Lights coming home from dates when I was in high school. What a romantic way to end the date! They amaze me, I want to take a long vacation somewhere north just to see them again (the lights).

Denisemomof4 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I would LOVE to see the northern lights. It's on the bucket list I haven't started yet. I'd like to visit the Arctic AND Alaska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yup, they've been out the last 2 nights here. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiana Daniels Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Oh, man! I've never seen them in person. Would love to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Our local news said we had the possibility tonight, but nothing yet. I'll look again when I take the dogs out. The Northern Lights are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellifera33 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I've seen the northern lights twice, once in town and once while driving across a dark, empty stretch of my state. It's pretty unusual to see them this far south, so I count myself lucky to have seen them at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Wow! I've wanted to see them ever since I was big enough to read about them in our Childcraft encyclopedias! !! Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I really want to travel far north enough to see them some day! Of course, it sounds to me like even if you live in the right area, you can't be guaranteed that they will show up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it weird that I want my kids to memorize this? It just seems appropriately Alaskan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Is it weird that I want my kids to memorize this? It just seems appropriately Alaskan. Not at all. My mom's former boss had to memorize it in grade school (he is nearing 70 now). He still recites it every year at her xmas party and has challenged the kids each year to memorize it to say with him (they only remember bits and peices of it right now, not the whole thing).
