We've been having aurora withdrawal here in Anchorage so far this season. The clouds have not been cooperating, while Fairbanks, Delta, and North Pole have been hogging all the strong displays. Finally early this morning we had clear skies and some color, plus some really nice Milky Way. It wasn't a super active or strong show, but it sure felt good to be back outside between 1:30 am and 3 am on a warm night with just the owls hooting for company.
