I got a patch of clear sky and watched between 3am and 4am last night, from Casseiopea to Pegasus. I didn't see a single meteor.

Light pollution, maybe. Or maybe I was looking in the wrong place (Lyra was in the SE, not the east). Or maybe the shower wasn't as good as believed. ;-)

Well, I'll try to look again tonight/this morning, if it's not cloudy. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to see anything though, this place is lit up like a circus at night. I reckon I can only see stars above a magnitude of 3, which is maybe not enough to see a meteor.
