Well... according to the forecasts ... should be raining here too, by next week. But I see that they're posting the "amazing disappearing rainstorm" again. Just yesterday, wunderground was predicting 1.4" of rain. Today, it's 0.9".
Please Dear Lady of the Rain, think of your plants and small creatures who depend so greatly on you!

Holy crap. They extended the heat wave a few days. I'll actually have one of them off now so I can work on my snowblower. Yay.
40+ degrees for two days straight? I'll believe it when I see it.

And meanwhile, in WNY ... minus 20 wind chill. Snow so cold it squeaks. Bombogenesis affecting the east coast.

It was minus 20 last night by me with the windchill. Haven't had a reasonable temperature for the time of year here in almost 2 weeks. 2 more days of this crap and it should be over for a while.
Freezing my ass off inside my own house and my gas bill is going to be through the roof.

Maritimes? Like Newfoundland? PEI?

Hey, I feel pretty proud of myself that I figured out that much!
Checked in with my fav weather sites ... oh wow, that looks worse than the east coast USA. Hurricane-force winds followed by minus 40 C?? YIKES!

I think if I had one of those old stone houses that was well above storm-surge level, I'd be OK with a stack of firewood, a Franklin stove, and a cup of cocoa (or maybe a snifter of brandy) listening to the wind howl.
OTOH, this is probably what's happening right now

Well, with all this talk of rain, it looks like we're finally going to get some!
Rain forecast starting tomorrow, predicted to be about 1.5" total over two days. I dropped the downspouts to direct the water into the gardens, set out my "rain gage", and tossed some CA poppy seeds into the abandoned lot across the street.
All we'd need is ten more storms like this and we'll be OK.

Well, I brought in my little "rain gage" and took a measurement .... 2 - 15/16" ... hell, let's call it 3" of rain. Twice what the storm was predicted to produce. Wow. That's pretty damn good.
Altho I have to say ...it looks like 13 were killed in mudslides which occurred below the Thomas fire burn areas, which ultimately became the largest recorded fire in CA. Drought, fire, flood, mudslide, earthquake .... what's not to like about CA?
