(meteorobs) Leonids Nov. 17/18 from Oregon near "normal"
I had my alarm set for 3:10am local; at that time, like the rest of the night, it was overcast. I didn't bother to reset it; however, I woke up accidentally at 4am to clear skies.
Activity wasn't too exciting; there were meteorless voids of 12 minutes and 16 minutes. There were a couple of bright meteors: a very fast -2 Leonid and a very slow -3 Taurid. Conditions were pretty good for a thick crescent Moon, but faint meteors seemed to be lacking.
Weather might just hold through tonight...maybe.
