Norman here again. I have to regard Bill's prediction as being a day
late. In a leap year the action comes one day sooner. In years other than
leap years for the American region we do see the best rates on Dec
13/14. The Geminids are a very stable shower and I have yet to see a real
surprise out of it. Just going by experience !
