Last night it began. A nice gentle wash that has continued today. It’s exactly what the land needs. Just over half an inch has fallen today at a rate that soaks into the parched earth and not just run off. Of course this means I don’t have to feel guilty about not working a lotContinueContinue reading “Rain! Lovely Rain.”

Tsunami Warning
(Upgraded now to Advisory) There is a warning for the coast here. I’m not quite in the zone (although when I’m at work, I’d be in the zone.) I know not exactly “weather” but something to always be ready for regardless. The ducklings created their own waves today, having fun chasing and eating bits ofContinueContinue reading “Tsunami Warning”
The best is yet to come-
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Fr2JtARTQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr Thanks, USA. Going to be interesting this hurricane season, I’m sure.
This is why-
Here are are some of the common apps for weather: At the same time of day. Both were wrong. The actual temperature at the time was 78 degrees. And this morning, the low was 41 degrees despite the apps saying otherwise.
In odd weather news:
Batty bats! https://news.autodailyz.com/15099/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLw8HJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHiNOAWV9DR1QtZV5ajD_HgFh7i1I5rcJugA6kzbMcu6lXdX2m8n4QkdQguDv_aem_oKSaKMiRq0vYUwzMLKkZHQ#mdjg1mkgbp9hlvg3twf The critters get disoriented by changes in pressure systems. Who knew?
Extreme Heat is bad for your long term health.
@ 11:33am, 62.6°F, 80% humidity, ENE 1.3 mph wind, partly cloudy, rain 0.01”, monthly 0.01” I’ve seen this before, from other sources if you are one of those CNN haters (because the red hats told you to hate it while trusting faux news that had to pay out a huge sum in court for beingContinueContinue reading “Extreme Heat is bad for your long term health.”
I am not the only one who notices.
Weather apps. IMHO have never been that reliable in the rural areas like where I live. As the apps draw information from more populated areas, they don’t record the trends as well. General information is usually ok, like if a wide spread storm approaches but the nuances of micro climates are not picked up. ApparentlyContinueContinue reading “I am not the only one who notices.”
Peas and Onions
@ 10:57 am. 61.5°F, 82% humidity, NW 1.3 mph wind, cloudy This is the worst harvest of onions I have ever had. Could be a few reasons for this but the soil I know was good. I have always grown whoppers and prize winners so these little sad things are disappointing. At least I don’tContinueContinue reading “Peas and Onions”
It’s Up!
I got my personal weather station up and running today as the mounting pole finally arrived. Now I don’t have to rely on questionable apps for my weather data. Meanwhile I also set up a compost bin for the garden. My pod people already had one they made but it’s a long walk to itContinueContinue reading “It’s Up!”
They are here!
A bunch of stuff. Of course. I woke up with an awful headache this morning. A migraine, not a hangover mind you. I was at work, so I was out having fun. Ha. But I got home and was greeted by blazing sun and warmth. And chickens. Yes, the chickens had just arrived as IContinueContinue reading “They are here!”
