February 2, 2017 Auroras

Itasca County

A high speed stream of solar wind hit in the morning, and solar wind conditions remained favorable into the evening.  There was a bit of haze and low clouds, so I decided to drive north of town where the chances of clear sky were larger.  This is probably my best auroral sighting of 2017 so far.
