I saw them several times during my college years in northern Wisconsin (in Ashland). Would love to see them again. They're rarely visible here in Utah, but it could happen.

About 15 years back, I saw them up in Maine. They were a soft green and not very bright, but still a thrill to see.

I have seen them fairly frequently in northern Minnesota. My extended family pays attention to solar storm activity and "forecasts" and if it looks really good we go out late at night to see what we can see. Sun spot activity is cyclical (roughly 11 years) and it is ramping up now. This fall when days get shorter things might be good.

I hope to see northern lights, one day..I still am a bit chuffed that over 70% employees who responded to the poll, said they had seen them in their lifetime.

6 minute video of northern lights on the UP (upper peninsula) of Michigan.
I just watched this on my HD Iphone - amazing! Much better screen (even if tiny) than my big 22" monitor at work.
