Well, our three days of rain this week totalled 1.4 inches. It was the first measurable rainfall since June 22. On average, we would normally have received one inch per week over that time. Got a match? Let's just toast this place and get it over with.

Gloom, followed by increasing gloom with spotty showers, and more gloom.

Gloomy here too, and not even a drop of water.

I was thinking the same thing. Great name for a swamp. Dismal! Especially seeing I've been hearing people complain about it burning on this thread since I can't remember when.
Meanwhile, down under, light white puffy clouds blew across a beautiful blue sky all day. A fire on the freeway diverted all traffic through the old highway I take home everyday and instead of 20 minutes it took over an hour. But the serious truck crash down in Wollongong on the Mt Ousley Road (Only one of three ways into the city from the North) caused absolute chaos. |

Woke up this morning to discover we had another major downpour last night. My back yard could now qualify the house as waterfront property. The good news is that the end may be near for the Dismal Swamp fire. Here is an article from yesterday's Suffolk News Herald.
Quote:
EDIT: In 1728, William Byrd II, while leading a land survey to establish a boundary between the Virginia and North Carolina colonies, made many observations of the swamp, none of them favorable. He is credited with naming it the Dismal Swamp. — Wikipedia. EDIT: In 1763, George Washington visited the area, and he and others founded the Dismal Swamp Company, a venture to drain the swamp and clear it for settlement. Later the company turned to the more profitable goal of timber harvesting. —Ibid. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 09-21-2011 at 11:08 AM. |

A beautiful fall day. High of about 15C, sunny, not much wind. Went to the park before supper.

Periodic torrential rains! Streets flooded last night - water was pouring OUT of the storm drains back into the roads. More monsoons today & tomorrow.
Humidity is so high - I have to run the defroster to keep the windshield clear - and then my glasses fog up when I get out of the car! |
