Yes, frequently. The display of the aurora borealis isn't connected to the seasons. However, while auroras often OCCUR during the daytime, the faint light is difficult to SEE against the bright background of the sunlit sky. So we more often see auroras at night.

And since auroras are usually high-latitude events, and the summer days are quite long at high latitudes, it makes sense that we will more often see auroras in the long winter nights - because the nights are longer!
