The sky put on a show for us tonight.

atara has some more pictures of it in her journal.

We'd been half watching for aurora all weekend since Space Weather had mentioned that there might be some this weekend. I had expected them on Friday, or maybe Saturday night, but atara happened to be poking around in her lj earlier this evening when somebody in the winnipeg community mentioned that there was a pretty good light show in progress.

I'd rate it as better than pretty good - it was downright spectacular. While not quite as active as it's been in past, nor maybe as bright as we've seen it in past, this was the most colourful display that I've seen in a few years. It's one of the few things that makes it worth living in this northern climb.

( Here are a few select pictures from the evening. )

Finally a meme that makes sense!

very fucked.
