AHA! The skies are dancing in Canada and the USA tonight. I suspect MFM is making the heavens laugh.

Northern lights to dance across much of Canada tonight

"SNIP...............................

An intense burst of energy from the sun headed towards Earth on Thursday and was expected to make for spectacular conditions to see the northern lights across Canada.

"We can't pinpoint exactly when this will hit us. We can't pinpoint exactly where the northern lights will be visible. But we can give a general idea. (On Wednesday), AuroraMAX issued a nationwide aurora alert, meaning that areas of the country in the southern regions, as far right down to the northern U.S. states, would be able to see the northern lights if this storm hits the way that we were predicting."

There hasn't been a northern lights phenomenon like this in a year or two, she said.

The best viewing was expected in darker places, such as rural areas. People in cities could have difficulty because of lights from buildings or street lamps.
