Who is going to try to watch the Quadrantid meteors early tomorrow morning?

If the skies are clear, if you live in the NE US and if you can stand 1˚ temperatures, it will be a good show. You need a clear view to the NE, between the N. star and the Big Dipper.

I am going to try, in spite of the frigid temperatures. I hope anyone who sees them will tell us about your experience.

I might be out to look, I have to check and make sure the water pipes aren’t getting slushy, 18 *F tonight.

When is the peak supposed to be?

It says it’ll be easy to see from the east….but I can’t figure out if it’s worth me trying to see it from here in Colorado?

@Russell D SpacePoet: Visible and peaking simultaneously between 3:00 AM EST when the moon sets and dawn, when the sun rises.

@deni: Call your local newspaper; they should have info.

@Tropical Willie: 18˚F is positively tropical compared to our 2˚ F.
