Tonight, if you're on the planet (maybe even off too) you will be treated to the Geminid Meteor Shower, approx 120 meteors per hour are predicted from Midnight tonight (Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time = GMT+11) until 9pm Saturday night (same time zone).

Just came back inside, too cold out there for me.
Managed to see three of them while I was outside for maybe ten minutes.

Fuck it's 8 degrees C here and 3:45am. Apparently I can still maybe catch a couple, according to the report.
Always love meteor showers. Gonna bundle up and head outside in a minute.
Thanks Australia

It's horrible 
Pants and a hoodie and a hat, AND shoes.
Stayed out for a few. Didn't see anything BTW. Too cold so I gave up and ran to my beer.

Nice!
Light pollution is bad where I am.
And btw, my recent aversion to cold is due to where I've been living, I think.
I grew up in Maine, where the winters are wicked cold. I always though it was pretty normal though.
Then I moved to Pennsylvania, where the winters are sorta cold.
Now I live in South Carolina, where the winters really aren't cold at all.
My brain and body's sense of "cold" has been adapting, for sure
