I wouldn't mind the cold, but if its better than what i saw this morning, then I'm game for it...

Yup! The Geminids are way better. More meteors and a clearer sky, less haze in the Wintertime.

Orionids: Oct 15th - 29th. Peak early morning on the 21st , 20 meteors/hour in Northern Hemisphere, 40/hr Southern. Moon phase: Near New
Geminids: Dec 6th - 18th. Peak night of 13/14th , 50-80/hour in Northern. 20/hr Southern. Moon phase: Near New
