Sky Watchers alert...

"The Quadrantids, named for a now-extinct constellation, will be visible for two hours early Wednesday, from about 3 to 5 a.m. local times."

see the whole article here:

For the die-hart sky watchers... who can deal with the very cold temperatures, the coditions at Winni should be very good.

...I think I'll pass and stay under the electric blanket and wait for a summer time meteor shower that I can watch from the comfort of the sun platform on the boat.
