So my trip to New England for the weekend was a blessing. Clear skies, but really damn cold for this Texas boy. Even though there was plenty of light pollution, I still saw more meteors that night than in my entire life. And I missed the 10 inches of rain here in Austin.

The most difficult part is explaining to folks that the meteors didn't "start at 3AM" they would be peaking about then, but you could see them for a week or two, just nowhere near as intense as that morning. Those damn Yankees think it's like a fireworks show or something...
