@weatherdak Can confirm. We had convective snow in Anchorage with the dendritic zone at the surface. Crystals were low density.

@StefanBurnsGeo Northern Lights in downtown Juneau! Light pollution & all🤩✨🙏💕

@pyaane @StefanBurnsGeo Whoa!

Derby is reporting a trace of snow today.

For the garbage can fans. Near the end of this timelapse, the aurora got super bright overhead, lighting up the ground and Derby.

[Don Moore @capture907]

I just saw the aurora to the north-northeast in Anchorage. It's not fully dark yet. It's pretty lit in Yellowknife currently. Let's see if we get another pre-10pm burst.

@GambertonJames Derby is in the shadows in this one. I have a Timelapse of the can with the aurora in the works. 😀

[Don Moore @capture907]

Derby wanted to watch the aurora tonight. Happy Garbage Eve to all that celebrate!

[Don Moore @capture907]

Last night's aurora show just before 10pm, which took off before the clouds moved in. 😀 This is the 2nd pre-10pm burst this week.

[Don Moore @capture907]

Who's ready for more aurora? This is in normal speed (no timelapse) from 9/30 around 930pm in Anchorage.

[Don Moore @capture907]

There were several nice bursts last night. The first was around 930pm (what an early treat!). This is another bigger one about 125am. This timelapse covers about 5 minutes of time.

@r79583710 The can is in the shadows lower center.

Fall auroras in Anchorage usually means aurora with clouds. Here's last nights show.

[Don Moore @capture907]

The hurricane center said this today about hurricane Narda in the east pacific.

"A fortuitous 1329 UTC SAR RCM-1 NRCS image revealed a 15 nm symmetric eye beneath a small CDO..."

My analysis. Narda has an outie belly button (circled).

While we wait for better conditions, here's another Sept aurora viewed from near Hope, AK with a bright moon. The water is draining out of Turnagain Arm because the moon said to. Like most Sept auroras here, clouds are usually photobombing.

[Don Moore @capture907]

@KarolOrlewicz Yes. No AI.

Sockeye salmon circle of life. A deceased salmon rests on the river bottom to the left. On the right, a salmon egg (I believe) bounces around.

This was the Kenai River on Saturday at the same spot I viewed them the end of last month. The water smell has ripened.

[Don Moore @capture907]

While we wait for more auroras, here's an aurora show from Sep 2023. The clouds had lots of different places to be.
