In Minneapolis it's unfortunatly overcast... This really bummed me out as the proton levels were some of the highest I've seen in quite awhile. On NASA's Space Weather site they posted an alert. Proton levels were up over 20 per cc when they are usually down in the 1-5 range. The solar wind was also up much higher than normal. As I'm posting this the protons/cc is only 1.2. Not very good for Aurora.
