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, November 14th The prognosticators are calling for another overcast day. But already this morning I can get a glimpse of patches of blue sky. And looking to the east the sun is trying to peek through the overcast. The day long light rain we had yesterday managed to drop…
Tuesday September 5th Walking out of the front porch this morning before sunup I was slapped in the face by summer. If you look at the screen capture below you might notice that the feels like temperature is above 90° this morning. The humidity is up.. The dew point is…
Rain Even a slow and steady rain can add up when it comes down all day....
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.
Friday https://youtu.be/AAdTZJN8eto Today is wet! Yesterday we had a heavy midday thunderstorm that dropped quite a bit of water. Overnight more thunderstorms move through the area. Today is just wet! The yard is full of standing water in all of the low spots. Today is just wet! Stepping outside this…
I walked out of the house this morning and it was humid and 74°. After my granddaughter got on the bus, it started sprinkling... A slow misty rain that only lasted as long as the drive from the road to the house. I've been sitting here for over an hour…
It's a bit cool, a bit rainy, and a bit windy. It actually feels better than it has for a number of days on the back porch. Sitting here with my coffee watching the trees dance is kind of pleasant for us Sunday morning. But there's rain in the forecast…
It's a pleasant, if rainy, start to a spring day. Temperatures in the low 60s. The whole time we waited for the bus this morning it rained. Sometimes lightly, sometimes heavier. Luckily, as both kids walk to the bus, it was mostly lite. As always, if it's Tuesday, it must…
Once again, it's overcast and 68°. This has been one of the most overcast winters I can recall. I was reading a post at Space City Weather and they had a piece about how we are so far behind in rain this year. I must admit, for all of the…
Cool and Wet Morning Coffee Muses.
After watching a far off lightning show on Wednesday evening yesterday morning brought a wondrous sight...A rather large thunderous rainstorm blew through our immediate area. The winds blew, lightning blasted the ground over and over again setting car alarms off all over town and then it rained for a couple of hours at…
While it will never go down in the record books, yesterday brought us a gift of moisture from the sky and not a hose. This morning while we slept we had another gift. Our drought is far from over, but the trees and the grass are sure to appreciate the water that…
Down here on the Texas Gulf Coast summer this year has been stranger than most we've seen lately. Most years, at lest here lately, by early August the predominate color around these parts has gone from green to browns. Usually as the heat of summer sears everything into dormancy the…
After finally seeing a lessening of the attacks by the marauding blood suckers the weather has decided to return to the unstable side of the summer pattern. Thunderstorms crossing the landscape like huge sailing ships of old. At times you might think you were watching Titanic battles playing out in…
