I headed out to Skull Valley around midnight and was promptly met with 6 very impressive meteors within 15 minutes, all very long and except for two blood red "horizon huggers" that streaked over the Lake all were a brilliant green, and were either right above us or just to the north and east above the rising bowl of the Big Dipper!! The Big Dipper seemed to get picked on quite a bit during the entire night, but from 12:30-3:00am it was pretty quiet except for a few (maybe 10) faint Leonids and about 5 "sporadics". Around 3:00am we saw around 4-6 Leonids that dropped from just below Leo's sickle to the mountains to the east and south, giving a literal impression of 'falling stars'! The peak had definitely arrived around 3:35am until 3:55am then it dropped off dramatically, they're were not that many fireballs but the faint ones were plenty and often, many coming in sets of 3-5 at a time streaking almost in formation sometimes and quite a few meteors would streak from the radiant in opposite directions at the same time. I noticed that there was much more activity closer to the radiant than far away from it, many of the Leonids were short and not especially bright but for at least 15 minutes it was definitely a "shower" High thin clouds arrived around 3am but they seemed to open up for pretty much the entire time of the peak and there was always a full field of view unobstructed, you just had to move around from time to time. The Moonlight I'm sure wiped out all my photos, and I haven't looked at the video I shot yet, I'm not too hopeful, but we'll see. All in all the best one I've seen, but that's only because I was stuck in SLC under cloud cover the last two years, this definitely was no storm as predicted but the best shower I've seen and the predicted peak was pretty close to being dead on.
