It will be obscured by the northern lights.

It will be obscured by the northern lights.

...or a smoky, fiery train derailment.

I predict a big, smoky train wreck in Toledo on that day.

Here’s a cool video about the star that goes nova every 80 years. Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson does an excellent job explaining it.

I'm seeing multiple reports of amazing conditions somewhere in Maine overnight last night

You just never see the Toledo skyline in these photos.

I should add I saw them last week in SK but that is kinda routine up there.

Does Toledo have a recognizable skyline?

I was out and about tonight. Didn’t see squat.

My wife kept going outside in hopes of seeing Northern Lights but we couldn't see 'em from our neck of the woods. I told her to drive to the top of the big hill near our house (you can see all of Concord to the north and half of the state if you look east) but she didn't feel like it.

This was Mrs. Scotch taking a picture of me taking pictures in my Canadian tuxedo


And this is from one of our local pros


It seemed to be good along much of coastal Maine.

Lots of my facebook friends who were able to get away from all the light were able to see it and post their pics. I did not see it myself. Too much light. I guess it is hard around mega-metropolises like Toronto and Toledo to see them.

Haha that's crazy! I just came here and posted asking if you could see them last night without looking through any of the recent posts on this thread.

Pam's mom could see them yesterday in Tennessee. That's really cool.

Could you see it with your naked eyes (No 98…..HELL No Koop!!!) or could you only see it in your photos?

I can’t tell the 2 cities apart.
Sometimes I don’t know of I should order French fries, or poutine, or flip another driver off or apologize for being in their way.
