The Geminids Meteor Shower is Awesome Tonight!

My little girl and I are at Big Cedar Lodge. We went swimming at around 9:30pm. The pool and hot tubs closed at 10:00pm. As we were walking back to our lodge, we saw a shooting star! This was her first shooting star.
And then I remembered that tonight is the Geminids Meteor Shower. We laid in the grass and stared straight up at Orion. In about 30 minutes time we counted 16 shooting stars, most occurring in pairs. We saw 16 in 30 minutes in the middle of a resort with background lighting.
I can't imagine how awesome the show is in the dark country with little to no background lights.
Go outside now. They peak between midnight and sunrise.

The warm glow of multi colored Christmas lights from St George have killed the meteor show.

Meteor showers always leave me unfulfilled.

Thanks for the info. Just checked it out. Saw 4 in about a minute then hit a lull.
