Tonight plan

Should you go out?

North Bay is a borderline setup. Bring a camera, check cloud breaks, and watch for NOAA alerts before committing to a long drive.

For most mid-latitude locations, a clear northern horizon matters more than standing downtown. Look north, avoid street lights, and give your eyes at least 15 minutes to adapt.
