Amazon 7 #3 January 1, 2016 theplummeterI flew last night and intentionally went higher than normal for a good view. It was really incredible. Ours was disappointing... but a few greens and purples.. faint but still a good show in the low NE from our vantage point looking to the northeast over a very dark portion of Puget Sound which is usually a place that is obscured with clouds for most of the winter... and the sky......

oldwomanc6 38 #4 January 2, 2016 Your view was still better than here. Even if it had dipped low enough for us to have enjoyed, the temporary Northwet conditions, here in the mid-Atlantic didn't let us see the skies at all, anyway. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
