(meteorobs) Meteor Observations from Northern Nevada on April 19, 2007

[Robin Gray]

When I went outside on the morning of April 18 I was
greeted by blizzard like conditions - high winds
carrying a lot of snow with temperatures below
freezing. By 2 pm the snow had stopped, and by evening
the skies were beginning to show signs of clearing up.
When I got up at 2 am on April 19 the wind was gone
and the last clouds were dissapearing over the eastern
horizon. So I went out and observed meteors. The
Lyrids are beginning to pick up - this is what I saw
this morning.

April 19, 2007 Paradise Hill, Nevada, 20 miles north
