There was a spectacular meteor shower last night. I heard about it on the radio.
I wish they wouldn't have said that.
This is, after all, Minnesota. And December. And we have exactly two choices - well, alternatives, rather - when it comes to meteor showers in December. Either it will be beautifully clear, and even if you can get past the bit about the best part being around 2:00 AM, you will have to experience it when the temperatures are around -18 degrees. That's below zero. We're talking Fahrenheit here. I mean really, really cold. That doesn't even factor in the wind chill. Now be honest: what meteor shower is worth that?
The other alternative is warmer, but only in a relative way. It involves lots of cloud cover.
There is no happy medium. Not here, not now. So I wish the radio announcer had just kept that particular tidbit to himself.
