Where I live, we may not be able to see it. We have an arctic front coming late Sunday afternoon and the skies will be partly cloudy for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Hopefully, it won't be too cloudy and I'll get to see it on Monday night.

I don't know whether we will be able to see it either, here in super-frigid upstate NY.
Today's high temperature: 18°F / -7.8°C
Tonight's low: 5°F / -15°C
Tomorrow's high temperature: 10°F / -12.2°C
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr.

You say it doesn't snow much in Britain anymore? Do you mean just in southern England?

mostly in scotland.
but in england it used to be a regular annual snowfall but not so much in the past decade.Literally within the past month we had a substantial downfall but it thawed within days.
