I'm not a big fan of the short days during winter but there is an advantage to more hours of darkness. When the sky is dark for so many hours it provides more time to view the northern lights.
In the summer we're busy at Voyageur and often go to sleep early. When the sun doesn't set until 9:30pm and the sky isn't actually dark until much later it's not very likely we will see the northern lights.
The first five years we owned Voyageur we didn't have indoor plumbing and used an outhouse. During this time is when I saw the northern lights most frequently. We didn't have aurora alerts back then but it didn't matter because if they were out, then I would see them.
There was some solar activity during the night and the aurora borealis are expected to be in the sky this evening. The Gunflint Trail is a great place to view them and with a little luck the sky will be clear and I'll get to see the northern lights dancing in the night sky tonight.

And by the way, if you ever see the northern lights are out then please call me. It doesn't matter what time of the night it is I get out of bed for northern lights.
