Well .... I have fast-forwarded to October 6th, and it looks like it will be a sunny and very comfortable day. Now, we all need to keep our fingers crossed for that forecast!
Today's Weather in Your Garden 2
It poured here last night. Lightening lit up the entire town! We were coming back from A.N.P. and were about 15 miles from home. I could see the sky being lit up and knew it was over our house. As we got closer it started to rain, finally about 5 miles away from my driveway it opened up and just dumped it on us. The sky was just wild and I really didn't even need my headlights on when it flashed a bolt. Extremly fast and violent storm!!
60 degrees, muggy and a little hazy sunshine starting to show over the tall oaks. No breeze today like the last couple of days. Hoping for some rain too. Maybe late this afternoon and tonight through fri morning. Need a good all day steady rain to do much good, its so dry.
You've been lucky with rain recently Celeste. Wish I could say the same.
Still no rain here.
We just had another thunder shower, seems there are a band of them coming thru Maine from New Hampsire. Looks like it's mostly the coastal area....im about 35 miles from the ocean.
Out at 8:30 AM and in by 6 PM. Mostly overcast, good breeze all day and since I was under the big old pines I was protected for the few times the sun made a showing. Fantastic day in the garden. The rain started at around 4 and was over by 4:15 - more sprinkles than rain.
68 and foggy with highs in the 70's and a 40% chance of rain this afternoon. I'll be under the pines again today.
We got some rain late last night, or I should say, very early this morning. It's overcast now and 64 degrees. Humidity is at 94% - sticky again.
I had mentioned that we had a violent storm here Wed. night and I was driving through it. Well I guess I was pretty lucky and didn't even know it! This was in the paper this morning:
Dispatchers from the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office said they responded to only one accident Wednesday: A tree fell on a man's car while he was driving on Wing Road in South China; he did not suffer any injuries.
In China, trees fell, blocking streets and bringing down power and telephone lines, Town Manager Daniel L'Heureux said.
"There were maybe 30 or 35 trees down," L'Heureux said. "Luckily, there was no damage to the streets and no one was hurt."
After Wednesday night's storm pummeled some of Augusta's surrounding communities, work crews worked well into Thursday afternoon repairing poles and restoring power to the 5,800 customers who lost electricity in the squall. "
Me, who is afraid of Thunder & Lightening storms was driving through that!!! We have been having showers off and on since then.
Somebody up there loves you and many down here love you, too.
Awe, thank you Pirl!! I knew it was bad, I was sacred to death driving but I also knew we were w/in 5 minutes of the house so I kept going. Could barely see the road it was raining so hard and the wind was really whipping it around making it even harder to see. I'm so thankful I got the kids home safe and no one hurt during it.
That's scary. Overcast here and windy at 7:55, but so far NO rain again!
Weather report on radio says it's raining in southwest CT - it's just missing you, Victor.
Low 60s this am., partly cloudy, usual breeze. Rain overnight about one quarter inch, better than nothing but not enough to really help. Still muggy now but front on the way, hoping for more rain when it passes through.
How scary for you, Celeste!
I am thankful that you are OK.
Candyce - when you wrote and asked if we had any rain, the answer was no, but overnight, we did have just a bit....enough to sound nice to sleep by! This morning we had a teeny bit more. It's 70 degrees now and sunny. The yellow maple leaves are falling at a fast clip and my back yard is covered with leaves in some areas. My BIL and SIL are arriving this afternoon from Long Island for the weekend, so it looks like it will be a pretty one. I was in Conn. all day yesterday, so I missed a whole day's worth of threading. LOL Hope everyone has a wonderful fall weekend!!
Gorgeous day now. 72, sunny and breezy. Got a decent amount done, even with the five year old.
Weather?????? My life is stinking worse then the WEATHER!
Hot water tank fell threw the floor - a week ago and flooded the house.
2 dogs got
peed on by a skunk.
Aunt Rose died went to SC.
Came back more stuff and just more stuff. and.............
Yesterday bad weather here what was on the news WMUR.com .
Golf-ball sized hail pummeled Claremont and other towns in the Upper Valley. Lightning flashed every second for 20 minutes during the height of the storm.
IT FRIED MY COMPUTER
So - I came back after a week or two of a Terrible Life and a couple of grand short but, I got a new computer :-)
Wow - sorry to hear about all your travails, Schick. Can only get better, right?
Hope your weekend is brighter, shick!
I had a grand and glorious 9.5 hours in the garden today and will be asleep within the hour so I can do a repeat tomorrow and Sunday.
Hey, Schick, sorry to hear about your troubles. How are the dogs doing? More importantly - how are you doing?
schick, hope the worst is past! I wish you smooth sailing. and enjoy the new computer.
we're supposed to have a day full of sunshine here. current temp is 49, supposed to be a high of 68, but warming the next few days.
The entire forecast is for beautiful weather, here.
Oh my goodness, Schick - what a horrible string of events you had! So sorry you've had such a tough time lately! Glad to hear that some good things have happened for you since! I am sending you the strongest vibes for a glorious weekend!
60 and a gorgeous Fall day here.
60 here, sunny but a bit windy. It is alot cooler than the begining of the week thats for sure!
Glad to hear your dogs are okay - enjoy the beautiful day, schick :-)
It's amazing what a new computer will do for the disposition!!
It's an absolutely glorious day here. Began with temps in the high 40s and now is nice and comfortable in the mid 60s.
so sorry for your troubles Schick, but it sounds like things are on the mend. In the mean time a little song from the south NE....
sing to the tune of "let it snow"
Ohh, the weather outside is delightful
We need some rain by nightfall
The flowers are feeling some pain
Let It Rain
Let It Rain
Let It Rain...............(except by you Schick)
What a beautiful morning! Cool with blue skies. It's forecasted to be in the high 60's.
39 here this morning...burr! Should get up to 64 today and I will welcome that!
Cute song, venu. Now it will be running through my head all day!!
It's about 44 right now with a bright and shining sun. I don't know the predicted high for today, 'cause I didn't check.
60 and gorgeous at 10:40.
From what I can see from the bedroom window - the day looks gorgeous!
