I have sometimes gone outside and watched the Leonids, but it’s going to be a tad on the chilly side tonight and tomorrow night, so I think I’ll skip it.

Some years ago one of the talking heads at CNN asked if recent meteor showers could be caused by global warming. Yes, we should trust the news media.

As it says in the article, "The peak could be short and swift, running from 1:00 to 1:30 AM EST (Eastern Time)."
Half an hour. Could be the best Leonid showing ever. 'Course, these things tend to be vastly over-hyped, I can tell you!

LOL, is that true?... Libs are the dumbest form of walking life on earth!
To: LibWhacker
So for us around 2200 hrs pst. But, Leo has let me down before. 😁🌠

Sooo...I can look ANYWHERE in the sky tonight/a.m.? We actually may have clear skies in Northwest and can watch from our bedroom window (have seen meteor before from there).

It's best if you stare at the Leonid "sickle.". That's the " radiant,"
To: LibWhacker
Not sure how cold it will be where you are, but my wind chills at 1 am are forecast to be 10 degrees. These are the temps where my true Southern roots start to show. Yeah, I know I’m a wuss. I don’t venture out in 10 degrees very often unless there’s something I absolutely MUST do. Like go to the hospital for an emergency. Especially at night. It’s just not pleasant in any shape, fashion, or form.
I’m hoping I can watch someone else’s take on the Leonids.

I woke up to +3F this morning in southeast Idaho. It won't be getting much better around midnight. Not a comfortable environment to watch a meteor shower. The Perseids in August arrived with clear skies and confortable temperatures. I only saw one good meteor in 90 minutes. It's always a crap shoot.
