- It was noted in the weather observations as far south as Laramie, Wyoming,
- though no other stations around that part of the country noted it, the next
- furthest south station reporting aurora being Alexandria, Minnesota.
- (Laramie reported it only on one hourly observation, Alexandria reported the
- aurora for many hours). I hope we get to see it in Madison tonight! (We will
- have clear skies.)
