(meteorobs) GEM report



Hi all,

The sky was rather poor but clear during the first part of the night ; it
was frozen with a "siberian" wind. I had a promising first observation with
a radiant between 20 and 30° high and 21 GEM seen during the last complete
hour.
Then I stopped for a couple of hours and prepare myself for a long and cold
night outside from midnight until dawn.
But the clouds begin to comes from north around 23:00 local time. By
midnight it was totally overcast. Then I spend the night between the window,
looking at the sky, and the web, looking at meteosat ... A couple of hour
before dawn, I saw at least plenty of white stars falling everywhere in the
sky ! Hurrah ! ...
... It was snowing ! What a night ...
