It could be just me.. but I think not.... It sure seems like there have been more overcast days than sunny days this year. Particularly, this spring. Though I have to admit, that's starting the day in the 50's and ending the day at or about 70° is an uncommonly…
After the kids got on the bus this morning, it decided to really start raining... As you can see from the standing water, it has been raining pretty hard for a good while now. Looking out at the rain gauge I can't even tell how many inches we've already had...
Tuesday January 24th It's cool, breezy, and wet already this morning. Though the temperature is almost 60°, there is a rather strong breeze blowing a fine misty rain... And the prognosticators are promising this is just the start of a blustery weather day... Some cold fronts come into Houston like…
Saturday January 21st It's mid-afternoon, but, it's looked like this all day long. It's 53° right now... The same as it was at 7:00 a.m. this morning. There's been light rain falling off and on all day long. So far 3/4 of an inch has fallen. The look and the…
Thanksgiving Thursday After the summer we've had, I feel I should be giving thanks for the rain we are having... But as much as I love slow and steady, 2 inches in 2 hours is a bit much! Of course, when you are expecting 20 people for dinner, and all…
Rain Even a slow and steady rain can add up when it comes down all day....
It's Friday The above radar image is what was happening as the grandkids got on the bus for their second day of school. Between then and now we've had 1.25" of rain. Yesterday afternoon we had 1.6" and lost power for a couple of hours as the storms moved thru,…
Friday Finally... After weeks and weeks... We get more than a trace amount of rain. So far, coming up on noon, we're measuring just below 3/10 of an inch. And it's been slow, it's been steady, it's been just what we need... A soaking rain. I can only hope that…
It's Friday https://youtu.be/rz2fil577mE It's been another day of listening to thunder... Watching lightning... And only seeing about 5 minutes of rain. The video above shows a loop from this morning to this afternoon... One of the magnolias out in the front bed has lost 95% of its leaves. My small…
It's Saturday After weeks of flirting and hooded eyes, Mother Nature finally graced us with a mere pittance of moisture in the form of a five minute shower. It's raining again now. But, as it has been for what seems like forever, the majority of the thunderstorms are brushing past…
It's Saturday Not much to say today, other than... It's hot.
It's not much... But it is standing in the driveway... And you can hear it dripping... Dripping... Not a gully washer. Not cats and dogs. But it is rain.
It's Thursday I was dragged reluctantly from my slumber by the distant rumblings of thunder at 5am this morning. As I lay there listening... contemplating the rarity of this sound lately... thinking I really should watch this rare event... moisture falling from the sky... RAIN. So I stumbled out of…
Once again, thunder is all we got...
It's Sunday Just saying...
It's Saturday Nothing more needs to be said...
Monday https://youtu.be/5x1oeaCA6V4 Our preview of fall is winding down. The low this morning is back above 70... And there it will stay all week. The prognosticators are foretelling of scattered showers all week to boot. Today’s kids will live through three times as many climate disasters as their grandparents, study…
It's still 23° outside. The low tonight is supposed to be 12°. Our electricity has been out all day. We don't expect it to be back on anytime soon. Guess I'll have to throw another log on the fire and hope it keeps us above freezing. Stay warm everyone.
On a day when you would think it couldn't get any worse... We have this barreling down upon us. Can we just name it Trump and impeach it?

I was checking the forecast for the next ten days and this is what I found on the Weather Underground. I think they are foretelling a lot of rain in my future. The wind directions look interesting also... Must be some of the weather my brother-in-law, Nigel, keeps talking about…
When it's colder outside than it is in your refrigerator... All day long.
The Devil's in the forecast...
Do you see what's wrong in the screen capture above? Today's projected high of 56° is forecast to be "much warmer" than yesterday's 81°. I do not know what has happened at the Weather Underground since they were bought by the Weather Channel, but it hasn't been pretty. Could ownership…
