Your goal: to observe a meteor shower. You want to see as many meteors as possible. You want to see the sky rain meteors like hailstones at an apocalyptic rate. You want exploding fireballs, peals of meteoric thunder, celestial mayhem. And it could happen, too, because you read an article about an upcoming meteor shower (http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide).

Geminid meteors Friday and Saturday mornings, in the dark hours before dawn! Haven't had a break this year when it comes to these events.

No !! It's never clear around here when stuff like that is happening.

It's supposed to be clear but this is New Jersey. In any case it's bloody COLD!

We're supposed to get dumped with +8" of Snow Sat morning with temps about 20o dropping to 5o. Don't think the nads can take it.

Tomorrow looks like mid 40s for a high, and mid 20s for a low here in the high desert. But it's a dry cold.

I drive in to work at 4 AM, have seen three or four meteors every morning for the past two days.

Dudes don't have a, "my area." That is completely a chick term.

It was a beautiful clear sunny day, until about 45 minutes ago. Nothing but clouds now.

You seem to have that effect on the weather. People, too.

Thats true. So...for the record...yes, my junk will be clear to watch meteors this weekend.

"Bloody Cold" is when it gets to -40 or lower and the bloodstream requires antifreeze. :)

No, it's in Illinois. And it's snowing there, too.

Snowing right now, 3 hours before sunrise. I hope that the meteor showers will take a break so we can have a less snowy winter. :hahano:

Snow in Egypt? Pretty rare. I guess they're not seeing this either...

we had cold (*real* cold for the bay area) early in the week. seasonably cool and clear now, and no precipitation anticipated until after the new year.

Yeah. I could see that as a problem. That and having you arranged in such a way to use you as a punting stand.
