Solar Eclipse and Meteor Shower

There was a partial solar eclipse this morning but just like the lunar eclipse last month cloud cover prevented me from seeing it.  I could see the orange glow of the sun between the clouds but could not see the sun itself. 

There is also a meteor shower. The Quadrantid meteor shower is an annual vent that is active during January 1st through January 10th every year. The maximum peak of this year's shower is expected to be tonight with 30 to 50 meteors per hour!  I've just been outside and again there is cloud cover.  When it comes to looking at the skies I don't seem to have much luck.
