Well, I got up at 3.46 am, outside by 3.58, sky was clearish but some mist around. Saw one short bright flash at about 4.05 am, a few (4-5?) faint probables in my peripheral vision, maybe a dozen quick faint flashes that I could not say for sure on ... and that was it.

At 5:00 am the FOG rolled in ....who would have believed it ?

I had rain, clouds smoke and tornadoes covered but forgot about fog ..... Went back to bed till 6:00, actually got to sleep.

Just hope that the peak over the weekend does a bit better. I've bought a remote for my DSLR which lets me take long exposures so might set up the tripod and see if I can capture any trails.
And there better be NO FOG !!
