There may still be some around tonight HH.  Look after midnight and I'll bet you'll see some. 

I plan on it, but we are having some rain moving in for tomorrow, so I hope it will still be clear tonight.  A buddy at work said his son and daughter saw 18 in a 20 minute frame.

I may look again tonight myself.  It was just too damn cloudy last night to see anything.

Friday, Dec. 28, 2012, 5:21 a.m. EST. The full moon of December is called the  oak moon. Other names are frost moon, winter moon, long night's moon, and moon  before Yule.

HH, That brings back memories of a night many years ago, when on a high mountaintop near Beckley, WV, I aimed my homemade telescope at the moon.

Jupiter is in the sky right by the moon tonight, but once again, my view is obstructed by overcast.  :mad: :mad:

  Got out the old snow blower, it almost like new since I only got to use on one 2 inch snow last year.   :biggrin:

  Been doing the neighbor's drive year for years, but he left his hose on it under the snow and my blower ate about 4 feet of it.  It took two shear pins and a half an hour of work to get it out.   :rant:

They may not be as impressive as the fireworks over the Potomac River for New Year's, but there will be another sky show starting tonight.

The Quadrantid meteor shower is named for an extinct constellation, but the shooting stars that seem to sprout from it still arrive yearly, and the opening of the 2013 show will begin overnight Jan. 1 into Jan. 2.

The Quadrantids is one of the lesser-known meteor showers of the year, but that doesn't mean it's anything less than spectacular. Take a look at this Quadrantids meteor shower video or these pictures of the Quadrantids.

While the shower begins overnight on the first day of the new year, NASA tells us Quadrantid meteor shower peaks in the wee morning hours of Jan. 3.

Yesterday and today have been overcast, gloomy-looking days -- little to no sun yesterday, none today -- so I don't expect to see anything overhead.   :(

It's clear here.  So maybe I can see some tonight.

Clouds may be in my way again.  :mad:

Temperature isn't a problem though.  It's 77 degrees right now.  ;D
