Dec 16th did bring some rain as forecast (0.24″ to be exact). Not since Nov 28 have we had any rain at the house and not since Oct 20 have we had any measurable precipitation. Even with the rain and clouds, the sky cleared up after midnight and SALSA3 was able to pick up 3 meteors through the fog. So the streak still stands and is currently at 85 nights. Unfortunately the entire western US is being hammered by a wet winter storm system so the next few nights will be iffy.
