 Same in Halifax ,NS. I saw only 1 Leonid about 4:28am but there were
clouds coming and going by 5am it cleared a but but saw no more
Leonids. I was too tired as I power washed a driveway for 5 hours
yesterday was soaked,cold,and it was a miserable day and have to finish
one wall
today,... a 5000 psi washer too. IF it clears tonight I'll give them a try
again.

 I listened to 83.25 MHz at 1000-1100 UT heard only 13, too bad technology
screwed up meteor listening or my rates would be double or triple
that number :(


Clear skies
