The clouds are moving quickly and have some holes in them...crossing my fingers that it becomes decent in the next two hours for hunting for Phaethon and spotting a few Geminids. I'm mostly confident I could see it if it was clear between Cassiopeia and Auriga.

Edit: Gaps between clouds are increasing, and I had a clear line of sight to Perseus for a minute or so...I think there's a pretty good chance they'll become sparse enough for a proper observation of the asteroid's movement soon.

Edit 2: IT'S CLEAR! Better get the hell to it; it's asteroid time!

I think I'll be able to find it, but I just came in to warm up and my fingers really hurt for a few minutes. I guess an hour, in 21°F, is as long as I should go. I'll go back out soon for more squinting.

I saw two beautiful bright meteors sailing through the sky though!

I saw it!

That was really hard. My eyes and knees are tired. It was close to the zenith so I had to kneel for the better part of two hours to look in the vicinity, and I basically didn't even have a chance of seeing it if I looked at anything else for about five or ten minutes. I finally spotted an unmistakable object in the right place and stared "at" it (slightly away to avoid the blind spot) for a couple of minutes and then came in to check on Stellarium whether I looked at the correct object. Turns out I did, so I've now seen an asteroid the size of a mountain from 12.9 Gm away!
