  One of the winter perks of living in Fairbanks, is that we are in the “sweet spot” for Aurora Borealis viewing. This time of year, if the sky is clear, the odds are good that we will have the aurora lighting up the sky. Even with it being a common occurrence, the northern lights always stop me in my tracks.
