Great opportunity and you guys even had a high seat. Next Winter just head a bit north to Quebec.
My best Aurora viewing was a few years ago. I had a business meeting in a town called Bic on the south shore of the St. Lawrence river on the Gaspe Peninsula. Quite a drive east from Quebec City. When we left Quebec, the temp. was -28 C. By the time we got to Bic, it had dropped to -42. The Northern lights were dancing non-stop above the North shore of the St. Lawrence.
Its just a little hop from where you live, Morris
