Northern lights like on TV!!!

Since my first sighting, I’ve been religiously heading out at night to check for northern lights. And with the sunny blue skies these few days, potential potential!!

Wednesday night as usual I go out to check. Sometime around 1245 I put on my jacket, try to keep as quiet as possible, open the doors and head out. I look towards Hoven, nothing, so I walk round towards the front and the second I turned round the corner, there it was in the night sky.

A green streak just above the cow house. I scan the sky and there it was again, another green streak in the far distance towards the direction of the golf course. It was like an eriee green glow in the night sky. Like the previous night, it moved very slowly and slowly, the vertical streak above the cow house spread out into a horizontal cloud and gradually turned a pale green first and finally into white and disappeared into the dark sky. The other streak in the far distance, too far already, after a while, it just disappeared.

So this time round, I got to see something more like what you see on TV. So egg-citing!! Not to mention cold too! Coz the next morning the ground was frozen again. Everywhere it was like a coating of icing on the ground. And in some areas which didn’t get the sunlight for the whole day, the ice remained and didn’t melt away.
