It's all cloudy here, will have check the weather report....
I live in north central Pennsylvania and I can tell you for an
astronomy buff it sucks. Every time there is some event, 'look up
at midnight you will see this comet' or such, its invariably
cloudy. I even have a nice 10 inch mirror to make a scope
but it hardly seems worth it, would not get much chance to use it.

we have a lot of this sticky hot weather here, which means it's often cloudy, especially in the evening 🙁
Which is why I want to go to Norway to visit Nordlys... I figured if she's so into it, it must be a good place to watch it 😉

Well, it's almost never sticky hot here, but we get plenty of clouds. 🙁 I have missed many good displays due to clouds. Of course I still get to see a lot of aurora, and maybe I should be glad that it's often cloudy because I also need to sleep from time to time. 😉 It's worse for visitors who have limited time. You should plan to stay for at least about two weeks to be fairly sure to get to see something (of course there's never a guarantee). Or you should go to a place which is further away from the coast.

I think it's cleared up... it's 20:30 now, if I'm still awake at 11 pm I'll step out.
How about I come with you after christmas? 😛 We're leaving again anyway on the 27th or something, I could just come with you instead of going to heidelberg with my family 😀
