Meteor Showers

We were told only once on the news that around 1:00 AM in the north east sky there would be a spectacular meteor shower. I awoke at midnight and walked around looking out all the windows especially those facing the north east and saw nothing but our regular beautiful starry sky. I went back to bed and around 12:30 Owen woke to have a look. After awhile I got up to join him. We sat on the deck facing the north east and saw a few showers. Owen made us tea and brought us blankets. It was pretty cold out there; but we enjoyed it. Nothing spectacular as stated on the news. Around 2:00 we decided nothing much was going to happen so we went back to bed. Just wondering if anyone else got up and what they saw.
