The aurora is a glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as "aurora borealis" which is named after the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora and the greek name for north wind, Boreas since in Europe especially, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the "northern lights". The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and March to April. Its southern counterpart, "aurora australis", has similar properties.
As it is said it is seen in the polar region so there might be some chances of seeing it in places mentioned by you.

It really could be anywhere...but everything would have to be perfect for it to happen...like last year it happened in Phoenix for like 2-3 weeks...mostly happens in far north countries though...such as Norway, Sweden, Canada, and also in Alaska.

Oh my god, the first answerer got it outright wrong!
Norway is at a higher latitude than Canada, therefore, if you can see it from Canada, you can definitely see it from Norway!!

yes it can be seen in most of the very northern states of the US so why not some place that is close to the N pole then those states.
Make sure you arn't in a bright city.

Yes, the farther north the more often it is visible.
