Maybe it will be clear Christmas day to see the moon shining bright in the Christmas night.

That'd be nice


I'd hope for a light, gentle snowfall but with enough open space between clouds to see the moon

"the Quadrantids come from a mysterious asteroid or “rock comet,” rather than an icy comet, which is unusual. This particular asteroid is 2003 EH1, which takes 5.52 years to complete one orbit around the sun and measures 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) across."

Jan 3-4, north to north east sky, try moon to your back.

"The peak can include more than 100 visible meteors per hour. You may even glimpse some fireballs during the meteor shower, which are bright blasts of light and color associated with larger particles that linger longer than typical meteor streaks, according to NASA."

"C/2022 E3 (ZTF) should be visible without a telescope in the early evening sky for observers in the Northern Hemisphere during the latter part of January and early February in the Southern Hemisphere, states NASA. The comet will appear near the bright star Polaris, also known as the North Star."
