(meteorobs) Fw: Quadrantids obs from NWT

[Bruce McCurdy]

    As promised, here's the Quadrantids report from Stephen Bedingfield in 
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, 62.4 N., 114.5 W. Note the 
temperature at the top of the report. I think Stephen and Akemi deserve a 
virtual award for valour. regards, Bruce
