A couple of comments/questions: : I live in Tromsoe during the school year and northern Minnesota during the : summers. We routinely see northern lights both places.

I agree--the whole article seemed to be well-informed, but I disagree with the 65 degrees requirement. I'm only around 48-49 and they aren't too uncommon (not like every week, but maybe a few times every couple months?) // Geek Code v1.0 GE, GS d -p+ c+++(++) l? \\ || kei...@Badlands.NoDak.Edu || SURGEON GENERAL'S || || kei...@Plains.NoDak.Edu || WARNING: Intel Inside || \\ u e+ m s-/--- n! h- f? !g w- t++ r- y-- // (help--need new version of Geek Code)
