Dec 7/8 Meteors (or should I say, lack of meteors)

Carl Hergenrother

Clouds and rain spoiled the observing last night and tonight may bring more of the same. Conditions should improve by Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, it looks like the southwest US may be hit by a much stronger storm starting this weekend, just in time for the peak of the Geminids.
