(meteorobs) Not last night in NJ

[Jan Verfl]

That's kind of The Leonids' Folklore, isn't it? The same here in Czech
(somewhere in the middle of Europe...). Low clouds all around, forecast: a
gentle rain during the maximum. Still better than 1999's great LEO return in
a heavy snowstorm, but worse than 2000 (quite clear but only a few meteors),
2001 (just several tens of meters below the top of clouds, with lm=-4 (yes,
still some bolids to see)) and 2002 (solid cloud layer all over the country
except the southeast end, travelled 300 km during the first half of the
night to get two hours of 50 percent cloud coverage - a little annoying
under the full moon).

So best wishes to anyone around happy enough not to live in the "gray
european autumn" climate area - and looking forward to observe showers *not*
taking place in November...
