Local forecast for the night of the Geminid is the same for me. I need a new hobby.

When's the best time to witness a meteor shower?

January, between 1 and 3 am. In the bitter, cloudy cold.

You know it. Bundle up in half your clothes, grab a hot non-alcoholic drink (alcohol lowers body temp), get a lawn chair, and enjoy the show.

Brag to your friends the next day about your commitment. :-)

Yeah, but the alcoholic drinks make the showers more fun. 😉
