Here is a map that shows where the Lights are visible with various aurora intensities. You may have to click the drop down to actually see the North American view. As you can see, the first place in the lower 48 from which the aurora can be seen is near Lake of the Woods, Minnesota. As others have said, its not that aurorae occur more often in the winter, actually September & March, the equinoxes are statistically the best time, but the winter darkness allows them to be SEEN more often.
