Last night it was cloudy, but this morning, as I crossed the compound to the main building it was 4AM. In the 30 seconds it took to cross I saw three Geminids. After getting warmer clothing on I went back outside and watched for about 5 minutes. In that time I saw a good dozen or so. All of them were very white. Most had short trains, but one must have crossed 45 degrees of sky, slow but still bright white. Then the fog rose from the river and the sky was blanked out.
Last week, before the official start of the shower, I saw the longest trained meteoroid ever. Crossing nearly the whole dome of the sky before burning out. Fantastic!
