Up to a few days ago, we had weather that was the wonderful balance between Summer and Winter. Mild temperatures kept it from getting above eighty, or below the mid-fifties. No rain, pleasant sun, and dry. That's over for now.
The day before yesterday brought thunderstorms at night, and 5 1/2 inches of rain. Yesterday it was mostly cloudy and the temperature didn't get above the mid-fifties. Today it started raining before sunrise, and at 10:30 tonight, there's still a misting rain. The temperature never reached past 45 degrees, which made the nasty weather worse.
Tomorrow is supposed to allow clearing, but more rain is forecast starting Wednesday night and last into the weekend. At least it's not supposed to freeze, but miserable weather is expected.
All together we've had around 8 inches of rain, which will saturate the ground. Until Spring arrives, the ground will be soft, and venturing off pavement can lead to calling a wrecker. Hopefully, we won't get much freezing weather, or any frozen precipitation. Down here, that's always a recipe for shutting most everything down, too many car wrecks, and the dreaded times without electricity.
This reminds me, I gotta go shovel the driveway.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do that. We had about 6 inches of snow last year, and I was exhausted just trying to walk through it. I would be mortified to function with what you face, and have to drive in.
DeleteMy favorite weather!
ReplyDeleteWhen it's cold, frozen, and few venture outside, there's nothing that compares to the solitude, which allows some powerful reflection in thoughts. It's a different type of quite, that allows thoughts without distractions.
