Happy New Year 2014! auroras seen tonight, but with clouds

The aurora finally came out just before midnight, but was faint as seen from town (Fairbanks). Just as it was brightening, the clouds rolled in and covered it. The aurora is out right now, and it would be pretty good if there were no clouds. So you may want to check your sky. Lights have been reported in sporadic areas, north of Fairbanks, Cleary Summit, south Anchorage, Eagle River, Knik River areas, JBER, all reporting. Alerts went out via email earlier in the day, and then after midnight as to not disturb the midnight celebrations. I wish everyone here a Happy New Year! ~Amy
