Again, we went out on a Aurora Expedition tonight, 2019-03-18 and this night we start up in heavy  snow storm but with the weather forecast saying it will get colder and hopefully that comes with a clear sky. So it did, around kl. 22.00 there come up northern light (aurora from a clear sky). We got a glimpse of it in about 3-4 minutes before it disappear. We still have cold nights around -15 C tonight. Tomorrow we will head out snowmobiling and maybe some nice icefishing on a frozen lake in a neighbourhood. Good night!
