[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 37983, member: 894"] Hello from the Mid-west, USA. The only northern lights we have are the shimmering lights from the "big city". That may be the problem you are experiencing and not so much of the cold. I checked out this [I][B][URL='http://www.aurora-service.eu/aurora-forecast/']site[/URL] [/B][/I]that shows the solar activity. A Kp index of 3 or lower is ideal but anything higher could play havoc on the Spark affecting the GPS and compass. Northern Light activity can spike up to 9 at times. A good app to have is UAV forecast available in the app stores. It's a one stop shop for checking flight conditions. Welcome to the Forum. :cool: [/QUOTE]
