If the Aurora Borealis is out in the winter, it means skies are clear. Clear skis in winter with no cloud cover mean the air temperature will be bitterly cold. December -February temps can be -30F,-40F,-50F and up to -60F. Many of the Aurora viewing areas have no place to warm up. You may outside for an extended amount of time. Be prepared with appropriate outdoor winter wedding attire. Hat's, gloves, boots, coats, chemical hand, foot and body warmers are highly recommended. Please be aware the camera, cellphone and video equipment freeze within minutes unless you have taken special precautions to keep them warm.
