I hadn't necessarily grown up meteorgazing, but it had always been a thing to drive away from the city (and, dare i say, added to the treat of it to have to do that) in order to reveal the skies. But California these days seems to bring yet another "record-breaking" wildfire season every year now that completely obscures the view during the Perseids. I suppose that's not as likely to be a worry for the Quadrantids, though. A letdown, nonetheless.
