(meteorobs) alpha-Lynicds iffy for Alberta

    Here in northern Alberta it's pretty iffy, it was clear an hour ago but 
completely overcast and snowing lightly now. I can't even tell where the 
Moon is. However my meteorologically-gifted friend Alister says not to give 
up hope, that it may yet clear out as quickly as it moved in. He'll advise 
me further about two hours before the predicted peak, and I'm prepared to 
drive if a hole develops within accessible distance. The radiant will be 
about 25 degrees up and the Moon far higher than that, but what the hey, if 
we waited for outbursts to occur under ideal conditions we'd be waiting a 
long time. I'll give it a shot if it's at all possible.
