I've seen that when I lived in Caribou, Maine. They called it the Northern Lights. The other name is too hard for them to say.
My co-worker that called on the dealer in Caribou, Maine would always ask the dealer how the weather was up there before driving up from the Boston area, and the dealer would reply "clear and still...
"clear up to my ass and still snowing!"
Damn right! I was a Virginia boy who had just been transferred from Guam in January to Maine and I was in shock when I got off the airplane and saw the walls of snow.
Hey, Wingnut:

That was COOL!
Guam to Maine in January sounds kind of cruel. Did you insult the general's daughter or something?
