How cold was it.?

It was -22C here i Trondheim, Norway (63.5 deg. N). Rates were about 20 pr
10 minutes at local mid-night to 01:00 (23 - 24 UT) on an approx. Lm=6 sky.
Started out close to the city limit at -15C and 4.5 mag skies to assist the
city population with the observing before moving out of the light pollution
to have fun during maximum. Rates were probably about one every 2-3 minutes
on average from the dismal skies in the outskirts of Trondheim from
21:30-23:30 local time. Less bright ones than I had hoped for, but still
nice.

Too bad that it was not 10 deg. warmer. Then I would probably have
continued until dawn (sun 10 deg. below the horison at 07:58 local time)
