Puzzle Description:

The aurora borealis may be seen from many of the northern US states tonight. If you live in the north try going outside tonight. Give yourself 20 minutes to get dark adapted. No outdoor lighting or cell phones. If you spot them, give a comment on this puzzle with city, state, time and your impressions. Fresno CA is probably too far south so let me live vicariously through you.

I feel like I guessed my way through this. It's at *least* moderate lookahead.

Nice.

I have to agree. The Northern Lights are awesome and beautiful. We used to travel the length of Britsh Columbia twice a year. From the North Western corner to the South Eastern corner. We found the best place to view the lights was around Fort Nelson. I have seen stuff that very few people have seen. I have seen red, yellow, green, white. I have seen them in sheets and in ropes that twine together across the entire sky. I have seen them shooting up like you see in iconic pictures. We used to sleep in the vehicle or throw a sleeping bag down on the ground. My husband would sleep (he did the driving) and I would lay awake all night watching. I never believed that sometimes you can hear a whistle but once in the Yukon I heard it. We lived in a very remote area. I admit it still could have been something else but...To anyone who hasn't seen them then it is worth a trip just to do so. You will never regret it!

cooool!! Also used stair-step logic.

I have seen them in varies locations in western Canada, but the best by far that I have seen were in Yellowknife, where you can hear them hum.

I didn't know there was an auditory component. The northern lights remain on my bucket list.
