Small breaks in the clouds over Ames IA let me : catch 9 Leonids in 20 min with more than 80% sky cover... still exciting! Here in Pope Valley, I usually have excellent advantage over my city friends for skywatching. At this time of year, I can go down into the pond to further shield the sky. But last night there was just enough fog so that I had a city-view of the stars. I could see some bright ones, but I didn't spot any meteors in about a 10 minute span around 2am PST.
