(meteorobs) Fogged out in East GA

[Kim Youmans]

    I awoke at 1:30 AM and was greeted at the backdoor by a *very* thick 
layer of ground fog.  Hoping it was localized I drove out to my 
site...slowly,  as there was no visibilty in the pea soup that hid 
everything from the sky above to the road ahead of me.  Needless to say, it 
was a no-go at my site.  Oddly, when I returned home I found my backyard was 
the least foggiest area available.  Still, there was not much to see in the 
west, maybe a mag +3 sky, and even worse towards the east, where the 
combination of the moonlight, city-light, and the fog made for one 
horrendous white-out in that part of the sky.  I observed from my backyard 
for twenty minutes or so, enough to convince me I wasn't going to see 
anything.  Turning to leave and facing the moon, I did see a bright meteor 
flash just below the moon.  THAT was it.  I took a nap until 4:00 -- the sky 
was even worse at that time so I gave up and hit the hay.
here's hoping the rest of you have had better luck!
