Hi all, and Happy New Year,

Braved the snow cover and 14 degree temps to put in an hours worth of Quadrantid observations.
With the help of an electric blanket and many layers of clothing, I managed 10 Quadrantid and 2 non-Quadrantid meteors
between 0640 and 0740 utc. LM Est 5.5. Sky clear although not totally transparent, still the best conditions I can remember for
observing this shower.
Paths typically long, possibly owing to the still fairly low radiant elevation.
Hope many people were able to observe.

Clear skies!
