It was mostly clear last night, but there was zero solar activity so the lights didn’t make an appearance. We can’t complain given the three clear nights with Auroras that we’ve gotten, but during our visit we’ve also had two clear nights with minimal activity and two cloudy nights with high activity. The Aurora app just fired again to let us know that current solar activity is the strongest yet during our trip, as snow continues to fall and thick clouds cover the sky; there’s a chance of “partly cloudy” weather around midnight, so we’ll keep an eye on things to see if we get lucky and have one final show.
Given the snow today we hunkered down in our log cabin, with a brief foray outside to visit the birds. We’re off early tomorrow morning to get back to Fairbanks and hop on a plane home, but it’s been a successful trip – I was hoping for at least one good night of lights and we got that, and we also got a chance to run with reindeer, ride snow machines, and soak in hot springs, so all-in-all not a bad way to spend a week in the Far North.
