I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There’s nothing quite as humbling and life-affirming as staring up into the sky. Gazing up at the big, beautiful universe, with its twinkling stars and far-away galaxies, is an immensely grounding and inspiring experience. Add in a few colorful fireworks courtesy of Mother Nature, and you have the aurora borealis, a bucket-list experience for stargazers, nature lovers, and, well, pretty much anyone. Hi, I’m Anyone, and seeing the aurora borealis is certainly on my to-do list. But, here’s the catch: I live in Ohio. Can you see the northern lights in Ohio? Indeed you can! As luck would have it, your chances of seeing the northern lights in Ohio in 2024 are anything but low — in fact, 2024 is shaping up to be a year of stargazing splendor.
A solar eclipse AND northern lights show in Ohio in 2024? Wowza!
While Mother Nature can be anything but predictable, chances seem pretty good that Ohioans will be able to see this spectacular light show this year. So grab a comfy stargazing chair and enjoy the show!
