(meteorobs) Re: Quads best before or after peak?
Michael and All,
I don't have time to research your question in depth but I believe the
activity profile for the Quadrantids is pretty much symmetrical. It is
very short, probably in the order of only 12-24 hours above the sporadic
background. In your case I would advise watching pre-peak.
Good Luck!

Here in Hawaii, I am not well placed and have a choice of either observing 9 hours pre-peak or 15 hours post-peak. All things being equal, I would expect the pre-peak time to be better, unless the ZHR profile tends to be higher after the peak.
