This is it, folks! Tonight is the night to stay up and get out and see a show!

I'm waiting for the clouds to thin and/or break up. The timing is always bad here. Three clear days and now it's cloudy. I've had the opportunity to miss lunar eclipses and auroral displays; now my viewing of the Leonids is in jeopardy.

Hopefully where you are is clear and dry. If not, the above webcams will help, as will NASA TV: THREAD

It was cloudy -with the moon shining through - at 10:45 PM when I went for Subway.

Now it's mostly clear. Just hoping it will stay that way!

I will be watching the Leonids from the next town south of here, out over the dark expanse of Lake Winnebago.

The evening started clear, but gradually clouded over. At midnight the full moon was barely visible. No meteor shower.
