Seeing Northern Lights in Alaska
Hi. I'm trying to plan a trip, primarily to see the Northern Lights. I've been to various cities in Alaska during the summer (Anchorage, Barrow, Ketchikan) but want to go this time in winter.

If I went to Fairbanks in January, how good would my chances be of seeing the lights?
If I go, I would probably have 3 nights there - given clouds, atmospheric variations, is this enough nights to be reasonably sure of seeing them?

Thanks.
