The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Hey there... will be down this afternoon some time. Am playing with the weather station and software. This new one does way cooler things than the old one.

Well, it seems like you’ll have all kinds of weather to track today, a little bit of everything! :~)

Yah... there’s lots of good weather out there. Getting to see pretty much all of the parts work.

Having trouble with the internet update to Weather Underground though. Having trouble getting through to the server. Have you noticed anything wonky with WU today? or is it just me?

In spite of the over-the-top, “we’re all gonna die”, weather reporting, the snowstorm came and went in the course of about 5 hours, leaving no more than 1-2 inches of snow in the metro area. It was a pretty snow, fairly wet, the main roads are now clear, and the side streets are messy, as usual. From what I’ve heard, no one is having much trouble getting around. LSA

Every now and then it just stops talking to WU. Not sure why. Seems OK for the moment.

Do you have to ~do~ anything to get it to work again or does it just start working again?

Latest weather report—first weekend in 5 with no precip, expected. They are making noises about snow on Monday though :-(

It all came here. We got another couple-three inches. We’re thinking of getting a snowblower.

Snow is one of the reasons I moved out of Ohio.

I can't tell. It appears that it just starts up again. But maybe by fooling with things I'm jiggling whatever thingamabopper needs jiggled.

If anybody's interested... here's the page for the new Weatherstation.

Traditionally, Kansas City gets rain, sleet or freezing drizzle before the snow falls, so this snowfall was welcomed by it’s lack of drama. I was able to take Gypsy for two walks today which she really, really appreciated.
