    I got a chance to see it once 30 years ago and it was really cool. I decided not to lose any sleep over a slight chance last night.

    It was a blizzard over Berthoud pass. Didn't see anything but snow.

    Stayed up for nothing! Couldn't see it, and it was partly cloudy around midnight thanks to a ton of wind. I guess the storm wasn't as strong as they thought.

    Yeah, lots of hype but not much came of it.

    I've been reading up on some of this solar science...for kicks. The sun is in a funk (it's a technical term) and the heliospheric pressure in the solar system is also low. When we get a solar flare/CME, it is able to expand at about twice the rate than when the pressure is higher. This significantly reduces the energy in the solar storm before it reaches Earth.
