The northern lights will be visible as far south as Michigan over Labor Day weekend

The light show, forecast for Saturday and Sunday, is a result of geomagnetic storm activity, NOAA says.

The best time to see the aurora is a couple hours before or after midnight with a clear, dark sky creating the best conditions.

A similar phenomena occurred in March, when a geostorm gave those in southern Canada and the northern US a look at the northern lights.

...and as a troll, I shall be watching them intently! One of the most glorious nights I recall was 20-odd years ago, at a harbor, salmon fishing while the lights danced above us all. The fishing was ungodly good...the sky better.

AOC will demand to know how many coal fired power plants are powering the Northern Lights and demand that only solar power be used in the future.

Harnessing the electricity of the Northern Lights would be a miracle.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

No Northern Lights in Hazel Park, Michigan. Too cloudy, I guess.

No cremations tonight.
