It's Not So Summery...


... for the last day o' summer.  Yeah, your calendar might say today is the first day of autumn but it lies.  Fall doesn't actually arrive until just after 2000 hrs, local.  In the meantime we have gray, gray skies, blustery wind, and impending big-ass thunder showers moving in from the west, as you can plainly see in the radar screen-cap above.

But: no rain yet.  So we're gonna go sit outside and DARE the weather gods to rain on our parade Happy Hour.  Coz the temps are moderate and the wind is just to the lee side of objectionable.  I can handle it.

    We're having some not so summery weather in these parts, too. The weather guessers are already declaring that el nina is on the way for this winter. Yay us.

    We are having typically New England start-of-autumn weather - it's in the upper 80s and slightly humid.

    Go figure!

    STILL very summery down in this direction - 97 today! Relief just might be on the way for the weekend & the next week, though. YAY!!

    Miss Birdlegs, I feel your pain. It is about four million degrees in NW Louisiana. Still.

    We had one tiny cool front that came through in early September for a couple of days. It is so hot, and so dry that even the weeds are shriveling up. I'm not kidding.

    I am so ready for the real fall to hit! It is miserable trying to work football games this time of year. I'm ready for some cool brisk nights under the lights!

    We don't have a "snow depth" category on our local weather info! And what the heck is a "Wundermap?"

    Jenny: Well, ya gots your rain! We got a LOT today... so much so that I found it VERY hard to get out o' bed this morning. So I didn't. No sense in fighting the power... ;-)

    The weather guessers are already declaring that el nina is on the way for this winter. Yay us.

    Yay us, indeed. If I'm not mistaken the last time we had a La Niña we also had very COLD weather and more snow than usual here in NM. Which ain't as depressing as the increased rain all y'all get, BR, granted.

    Kris: Your wx sounds like what ours SHOULD be.

    Katy: Yow! I hope you DO get some relief, soonest. You, too, Andy.

    Dale: I can only imagine. But the picture my imagination paints ain't purty.

    Moogie: You now have your very own WunderMap.

    It was a beautiful day here in Western NY. The weaterman said it would be 78, but I bet it got up to 80 - very nice for site-seeing.

    They are suppose to be baling our hay in OK, so I hope the weather is not rainy there.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
