Me who loves storms but not happy we’re being hit by snow & geomagnetic ones at same time. Going to miss it again tonight (since 1st sightings, am addicted). For those who missed it last night, potential for even stronger tonight if you have clear skies. May still head out of town for cloud breaks.
