The Quadrantid meteor shower is expected to peak this weekend. If you’re trying to spot these elusive meteors streaking through the sky, bundle up and head somewhere dark. Consult this chart for the best viewing hours for your location + check out the Dark Skies International map for spots with lower light pollution. By our count, the darkest skies within driving distance are Rappahannock County Park + Sky Meadows State Park.

1,116. That’s how many responses we received from readers during our Giving Campaign.
We analyzed all of those responses to learn more about what you enjoy — and want to see more of — in our newsletters. Here’s what you said:
~20-25% of messages expressed that local info + events are our key value. These readers probably love the Events and News Note sections of our newsletter, along with our monthly Plan Ahead.
~10% said that we’re part of their morning routine, and we couldn’t be happier to accompany your morning cup of coffee.
~10% praised our brevity + easy-to-read format, so we’ll be sure to keep this short.
Several people also called out our support of small businesses + our “no-politics” approach. Psst: More formalized small business coverage is coming soon, so be on the lookout.
