Hi, Lauren! Thanks for a great road trip visit the Coast Guard in Connecticut! They are so hard-working and keep our waterways safe and secure! My son used to coordinate with them when he worked for the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center [RCC] at Langley AFB in Virginia. He had some wild stories to tell! |
Gentle half inch of rain over 12 hours...thirsty plants appreciated it and the creeks never darkened.
Trees swayed for a couple of minutes but no significant damage....good thing because I just had YET ANOTHER white ash topple “thanks” to the Asian emerald ash borer. And my wood racks are full from the previous casualties. This one will be for 2023-2024.
Good evening, radu...was today a good chance of some rain day? Did it happen? Hope so!
High winds, but rain, too, over night, and drizzles all day. More than a half inch so far. We will take what we can get.

Oh no...bugs!! But firewood for years!
May he rest in eternal peace. What a wonderful man he was!
Howdy, luvie.
Have you been lucky enough to get a little rain today or did it all fire up east of you?
Thank you for sharing.
I don’t believe I have seen those pictures before. It is good to connect a face to Brian’s name.
May his Memory be Eternal!
Hi, there, radu!
It actually fired up northwest of us and crept close and then hopped over us to move east. But, it’s cooler so I’ll take that instead.
Did any rain or coolness make it to your neck of the woods?
Howdy, Kathy.
Yes, we did get some rain this afternoon when a thunderstorm blew through and chances are decent for us getting more the next few days. We’ll take it!
It looked pretty ugly up your way today. It was raining hard enough for a while at the airport, it was difficult to see the cargo jets flying in. Noisy, too, with the wind whipping across the mic. Still noisy and the trees are leaning in the wind.
Your temps have sure cooled down!
I hope today hasn’t been too crazy work-wise.
Dang the luck! That’s what happens to us all too often.
It was already east of you when I checked the radar.
It did cool off after the rain blew through but was toasty before that. It’ll be pretty much the same scenario the next few days. At this point they’re saying the weekend will be dry and almost like Fall with highs in the low 80s and lows in the low 60s. That’ll be nice!
“Almost like Fall” sounds like music to my sweating ears! LOL! BTW...it was snowing in the mountains of WY/Idaho today. It looked so refreshing. I know THAT’S too cold, but still.
BRRRRRR!! Too early to think about snow and the cold that comes with it. That’s why I won’t live any farther north than I do. LOL
Yeah, that weekend forecast sounds delightful with those temps. It’s been a while since I’ve worn long sleeves but I’ll need to at night when I sit outside with Jobu.
Ahhhh...long sleeves. I’d better remember to pack some sweaters for the WY trip. Nights are going to be chilly...chilly enough to wear sweats to sleep in.
So...Jobu it is then! Good name. Strong!
