Whew! Only rain. Of course night time temps are dipping into the 30's F - if the rain stalls .... hmmmm [looking for boots!]

Just so you know, the intellicast 10 day is calling for rain/snow showers Monday December 5th. I can't imagine that any of it will stick as its not been anywhere near cold enough, but it might be pretty to look at out the office windows.

And what was still there (due to being too heavy to blow away), was sopping wet.

So, we didn't sleep in the car and in the casket that night. We got a motel.

Much drier!

And then I went shopping to buy all new clothes, after we arrived. THAT was fun, anyway!

Yeah, okay, so I'm a little eccentric! "Feisty" and "spunky" have been heard too .....

Cold rain this morning. Mid 40s and a steady, soaking rain.

bgd - do you ever read Lee Smith's short stories? There's one (Ultima Thule) that describes a similar experience - but with markedly different results!

BTW - were you ever in Myrtle Beach? I remember seeing casket side cars there ....

I adore Lee Smith. I've met her a number of times in Hillsborough, and she is an absolutely delightful woman. My favorite story of hers will always be Georgia Rose though i've read everything she has released to date.

On Topic: do chickens get soggy?

poohbear_nc · 11-29-2011, 08:45 AM

Yes - chickens do get soggy! Hence my noted aversion to cold windy rain!
[shaking feathers in an irritated fashion]

But it appears the rain is clearing out. Now for the cold temps!

pholy · 11-30-2011, 12:13 PM

First snow in downtown Toronto right now, and it is freezing - exactly 0° C. I guess going out for lunch can wait a while. It should stop soon, and get up to 3° this afternnoon.

poohbear_nc · 11-30-2011, 01:14 PM

Cold & breezy - high in the 50's F today - nothing like a 20 degree drop in temps overnight!

Snow in the NC mountains!

Already back down to 48 here. Going to be a somewhat chilly run in an hour.

It's 45F here and people are losing their minds.

We went to the moA/FL ( Museum of Art Ft Lauderdale) and people were actually walking around in puffy coats. It was 75 degrees! I had on my tank top and sandals.

I think maybe they've been inhaling too much sunscreen.

Looking out at my front yard today I can see that about 3 inches of snow accumulation fell last night. I am just eyeballing it but there must be at least an inch more on my driveway and walk. How does it manage to do that? Then there is the online weather forecast web site I look to for my local weather prediction. It would seem at the moment where I live the temperature is 33 F and yet the predicted high for the day is 30 F. Another one of life's great mysteries I guess? Well after a cup of coffee it will be time to bundle up warmly and grab the snow shovel.

It is 60+ F here, but we have are having wind gusts that are over 40 mph. Enough to fill my pond with leaves (not on the lawn this year

), blow the lawn furniture over and across the patio, and make it hard for me to stay in a standing position.

Sunny with a slight haze this morning in Istanbul. Looking forward to going back to the drab Paris December weather tonight.
