AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was about 1:00am and I stepped out to see what was visible. It was a beautiful night. About as clear as I could hope for in my light-infested city. A little hazy on the horizon, but nice and clear overhead. Only a couple of small clouds drifting here and there. I could see down to below 3rd magnitude; the Pleadies were dim but I could make out 6 of them. I had really high hopes. It isn't very good seeing where I live, big buildings and lots of light, so I planned to head out to a more open area.

Since the shower is supposed to peak around 2:30-3:30, I decided to wait indoors for a bit longer. Well, now it's after 2:00 and I have just finished getting ready to head out--and IT'S CLOUDY! Light clouds cover the sky from horizon to horizon. They all rolled in over the last hour or so.

I am soo frustrated. This is supposed to be the area with the highest peak. There may be thousands an hour, but I won't be able to see them. Stupid weather.

(Oh yeah, I did spot one Taurid the first time I stepped out, but that was it.)
