I just have the advantage of more chances to get them. Also check www.lightningmaps.org/realtime… next summer, it's pretty neat.
Besides that you have the northern lights I'm jealous of.

ÅH TRIPPY SITE! I'll bookmark it so i can follow it in realtime ahead 
Even though it's November and cold off-seasons for lightings so am i still surprised it was so limited of it in the world right now. I mean, i would have guess it was at least lightnings around exotic areas more
I might live in a northern light longitude area if the aurora itself has a Kp-level over 5 yes. But it also demand lucky weathers as well without any clouds which is a rare moment if these two occurrences happens at the same time

Reading that newspaper, I realize I feel like visiting a Nordic country sometime. In America, you get a bit trapped culture-wise, because news is always told with a touch of opinion. I've never experienced a society with truly different customs, besides Mexico. If I were to visit a Northern European country, what do you recommend? I've always liked the idea of Sweden but maybe there's ones better for tourism?

It all depends what you wan't to experience most. Sure, all nordic countries have great nature parts in their own kind of ways and depending where in the country you are. But in whole do i have to admit that Norway is probably the nordic country to experience more "majestic" landscapes and natures. The disadvantage with Norway is that it's very expensive there, and among the most expensive countries in the world with most stuff (beside Switzerland). Sweden are more internationally known for their wider cultures and shops. Denmark for their beer / cities / shopping and clubs, but less when it comes to nature experiences. Finland have similar nature to Sweden but more lakes, more drinking and less mountains. And Iceland is very unique on it's own which you can probably count out why x).

I think Norway sounds best so far. Thanks Daxxe!

Go to Norway, it's really beautiful! And bring your camera! To Sweden if you want to shop and Denmark if you want to party. And Estonia and Latvia for good food and some rare leftovers from the Russian era. Finland and Poland I still have left, so I cannot say a lot about them.
