Simon Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Will it ever hit the SE? If it does, you might want to get your affairs in order. For tonight, I think No. Virginia is about as far south as it could get. Nothing showing yet in the hills of Western Pennsyltucky...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Wouldn't be Northern Lights, now would it? Â Will it ever hit the SE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Wouldn't be Northern Lights, now would it? Â Â Well let's think about this for a minute. Let's say you're in Mexico and you see light coming from a 0 degree heading. Those would be what kind of light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are probably dropping overall as diminishing sunspots seem to indicate a decline in the solar activity cycle. But the sun is a fairly unpredictable burning ball of hydrogen so we're still going to get bursts, even in a decreasing cycle of activity I guess we just need to hope that we still get some big CME's pointing towards the Earth and that they'll be timed with clear weather to see the results. Or just take a nice long vacation in Norway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
