Astronomically, winter arrives early Saturday morning (the shortest day of the year).
After this weekend’s arctic smack, a longer-lasting period of cold appears to develop during the first week of 2025.
A VERY STRONG geomagnetic storm started this afternoon….
That means an elevated chance of seeing the northern lights tonight! Skies will be completely clear, so get away from city lights and start lookijng anytime after dark. If you get any good photos, send them my way: weatherjazz@yahoo.com, with an email text saying that YOU took the photo and that you are giving me permission to repost them here.
The full Harvest Moon is tonight… officially full at 10:35 p.m. (Tuesday night).

Did you see any of last night’s Perseid meteors?
…or a hint of the Northern Lights? Both were visible if skies cooperated where you live.
