Anybody else watching the Geminids meteor shower this weekend?

We are planning on watching them tonight around 3AM local time to avoid the moonlight. I've always found meteor showers a perfect mustachian activity. Homemade hot chocolate (or spiced cider) + blankets + dark sky = an awesome free night.

Anybody else made any plans?

Considering it, but will have to watch out the sunroof of the vehicle.

Current forecast is -36C so will NOT be outside to watch. The only upside to that weather is when it is that cold out it is typically a crystal clear night with no cloud coverage and no moisture in the air so you get a great view of the stars.
