Harry Potter Fans With No Life

You're welcome. lol. Nice and chilly this morning when I got up...33 degrees at 6:45! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Good part is it's supposed to get up into the mid 60s today, 70s tomorrow and Tuesday, either side of 80 Wednesday and Thursday. We really need rain; probably won't see any until maybe late Thursday and Friday, if we're lucky.

we are supposed to get rain today, tomorrow and Wednesday (I think I will believe it when I see it)
they are also throwing around the nasty "S" word for Wednesday too.
Good Grief! three days ago it was near 80F

_________________

They are saying "S" in the high country. I'm sort of on the demarcation level, so may get some, maybe not, but will at least be chilly and damp. Oh joy.

We got rain ... !!!
not just dribbles & spits ... pouring down rain!! Naturally with high winds ...

it looks like the "S" is missing us, yay! (not by much mind you, it begins just west of us - and those regions are going to get hit hard by the looks of the radar)

Well - this looks like fun (NOT!!!)
We've already got nearly 3" of rain so their rain prediction amounts are already off mark

And then ~

Yesterday around 2:45 pm it started to get a little cloudy. By 3pm it was like it was going to be night in twenty minutes. By 3:15 pm it was snowing big wet glops. By 3:30 pm the whole lawn was about two inches deep. Then it started to lighten a bit, got all the way to an occasional shaft of sunlight. Then it did the whole routine again around four, but with wind. It got to about ankle deep before it quit.

But ~

It only paused, I think it was just regrouping, but without the snow. The worse wind came along since I've been here. It picked up big trash cans and tossed them thirty feet or so. The deciduous tree in the neighbor's yard was stripped of yellow leaves. There were a couple times I was concerned it would blow out a window or two - it was spooking the dog so badly she kept tripping me/sitting on my feet. At ten the electric went off for a couple hours. (Boy am I glad I'm not a guy who might have to work with big wires in that kind of a gale... I hope they paid that crew well.)

Today, bright sunny, shirt-sleeve weather with only a light breeze.

'Sposta get s*** Sunday into Monday, with a bit more on Tuesday.

Don't ask me... I only work here... live here... Have I mentioned I like Spring and early summer?
.

None of that here. No rain and we can really use it. Leaves are finally turning color but not that vibrant, due to lack of rain. Supposed to get quite a bit today and tomorrow. Can only hope.
