Where do you think would be a good place to see these tonight?  I know the noodleoo family tried to see them from a hilly spot somewhere last time but I think had limited success?  I've never seen them and would love to get even a glimpse!

H was just talking about this!  Yeah, we tried a couple hills in Burlington but I think there is just too much light pollution.  I'd love to try driving somewhere a bit more remote, I'm guessing anywhere out Route 2 where it might be darker we might have more luck.

Let me know if you see it!  I'm dying to!  My friend might be going to Sweden in winter and has plans to travel north to see it and I am *SO* jealous!!

What time does it start? I wonder if I will have a decent view. One plus of living in the middle of nowhere, its pitch black in my neighborhood.

I think the article says it's usually best around midnight local time but gets better as the night goes on.

Thanks! Obviously, I read the article too fast and missed that.

Hmm I'll have to see if I can stay up that late.

The chances of me being awake at midnight on a Friday are pretty nil, plus I'm probably too urban to really see anything. /sad trombone

Aww I don't think I can stay up until midnight plus, no idea where I'd go to see it.

Did anyone see it last night? I poked my head out the back door at midnight, but didn't see anything due to the trees in the backyard I was too tired to attempt anything else.

Big fat fail.  We went out at midnight and saw nothing.

Yeah, we tried Friday night too. Between the clouds and the light pollution, we saw nothing.  And we drove around for 30 mins trying to find a clear, dim spot.  That was a waste!
