This is pretty cool... Didn't even notice it until I put it on the computer. Note how the clouds seem to follow the outline of the trees. This is what Bob Ross would call a "Happy Little Accident". #SpectrumNews1 #ncwx

The Northern Lights showered up on the GOES satellite image last night... There is some potential that they will be visible again tonight. Look northward from a dark location and you may see a reddish glow on the horizon.
