Default Super aurora on now

At least in rural east Scotland. Best I've seen in years - mainly green but easily noticeable to the naked eye with little adaptation.

Bah! As soon as I read your e-mail I shot out, leapt into the
car and headed for my favourite aurora-viewing hilltop. Stopped
in the layby, wriggled into my ski-suit because the temperature
was below freezing, and was about to get out of the car when I
realised that there was complete cloud cover and it was snowing
heavily :-((

So I turned round and came home, hoping that the snow wouldn't
turn to freezing rain as I headed back down the hill to the main
road.

Nevertheless, thank you for the notification, which was very
kind of you.

Just had a look out of the window, but like Anne, we are completely
overcast.

But shock! The far side of the estate is in complete darkness, so guess
there's yet another power cut up here. Nothing unusual in that. But what
is unusual is the sight of snow flakes drifting down in the light of the
street lamps outside.. Yuk!!!

There's a piece about it in this morning's Telegraph, with a photo taken
an Bamburgh in Northumberland. According to the article it was visible
as far south as the Midlands.

Never seen an aurora, still patiently seeking those nacreous clouds.
Despite being very close to the urban-rural boundary this is a very well
lit spot at night. Even the nearby ski-slope on the Pentlands is lit up
like a christmas tree for much of the evening.

But.. we did have snow cover at 0900 today.

There was a photo from Oxford on BBC Breakfast this morning but can't
find it on FB. Sorry about that, I'm sure Col would've loved to have
seen a link it ;-)
