3. Darn -- cloudy, with a chance of snow
Not ideal forecast for viewing meteors above Chicago's western suburbs.:-(

7. I've never seen a spectacular display. And I'm afraid I messed up on the time this year.
It's already come and gone.

8. That can't be right. It's clear as a bell outside here
Normally, eclipses and other astronomical events cause clouds to move into this area.
