Northern lights are not an annual event. They actually go from fantastic to unbelievable in the same 11 year cycle as sunspots on the sun. When the cycle is at a high, the northern lights are also at a high. And can be seen as far down as 41 or 42 degrees parallel. (I have seen them in Seabrook, NH at 41 degrees.) They are ionized particles in the air that react to ther magnetice storms of the sun.

I think that winter is the best time to see them, but it's so cold. The best time weather wise might be August, before it starts getting too cold, but the nights are getting longer.
