The thermometer only goes up to 50? I've never seen one where it goes down
to -50!
Northern lights move pretty fast, don't they? Is there any sound with them?

Excellent, Wayne (all except the part about it being very, very, very
chilly).



But it's a dry cold....

The policeman was walking his beat when he saw two men
fighting and a little boy standing alongside them crying,
"Daddy, Daddy!"

The officer pulled the two men apart and, turning to the boy,
asked, "Which one is your father, lad?"

"I don't know," the boy said, rubbing tears from his eyes.
"That's what they're fighting about!"

Yeah.
I've never seen an aurora bright enough to be coloured.

Back around the 1980 or thereabouts, we had a really nice auroral dosplay
over the Seattle area. It was intense enough that it just barely tripped
the color receptors in my eyes, so I'd get this strange sense of "red!"
that would come and go.

I saw some photos others had taken during that display that indeed showed
an intense red display.

As to sounds - I've never heard anything during an aurora display other
than the "ooh!"s and "ahh!"s of the folks watching. I did actually hear
sounds during the 2001 Leonid meteor storm, however. These were, I am
guessing, static discharges from nearby objects caused by the elecrical
field disruptions caused by the meteor trail plasmas high above. The
sounds were quiet, but obvious clicks and hisses that were coincident with
the brighter meteors, so they were obviously not sounds reaching the
ground from the meteors themselves.

Very cool!

I think it was 1981, early April (Easter vacation that year). I was in
Flagstaff, AZ on a vacation when we heard on local radio that the Northern
Lights would be visible as far south as Arizona. We went out a bit from the
center of town and sure enough, we could see it. And for us, it did have a
pinkish tint. I've never forgotten seeing that. I wish we'd been able to get
farther out from town. It might have been even more spectacular.
