It was a banner weekend for those who like gazing up at the sky to witness nature’s splendor.
Locals who were hoping to see the aurora borealis in Arlington Friday night were disappointed by the cloud cover. But those who stayed up until the wee hours of Saturday morning managed to see some northern lights amid the extreme geomagnetic storm.

Then on Saturday evening, a rainstorm gave way to a spectacularly bright double rainbow. And that led to a deluge of beautiful photos in ARLnow’s Twitter mentions and email inbox.
