The Quadrantids meteor shower, which can potentially be the best natural lightshow of the year, will be visible Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. Viewing conditions will be good around the Philadelphia area with partly clear skies but it will be quite frigid with temperatures only about 25 degrees.

Congress has started its climb back up the "fiscal cliff." After House Republicans relented to the Senate's plan, the House Tuesday night passed the bill 257-167 with GOP and Democratic support to avoid a fiscal cliff. President Obama thanked all parties involved in the negotiations. The bill, he said raises taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while preventing a middle class tax hike that could have sent the economy back into a recession.
