To those of you in the northern states....enjoy it!

The Northern Lights could be visible from 17 US states on Thursday, including places as far south as Maryland, the Associated Press reported.

The colorful sky display, which is also known as aurora borealis, is most frequently seen in places like Canada and Scandinavia, but an upcoming solar storm means the lights are expected to be visible from parts of the US.

According to The AP, the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks expects "auroral activity" in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Indiana, Maine, and Maryland.

Hah! DD1 is in Seattle and I just texted her this! I hope she is able to see this! The Aurora Borealis is one of the most goose-bumpingly stunning natural phenomena to witness in person. When I was a kid, we were able to see it from time to time.
