riding on the back of the Geminids I thought I would post some information on the Quadrantids meteor shower.

Ah, the kiss of death..

Yes, lets hope we get a good night in.

Thanks.

The last time I remember observing the Quadrantids it was so cold that the beer glass got frosted and it nearly slipped out of my hand
