Heavy rain all night here. A real drought buster. Not sure I've seen rain this heavy and sustained in a long time. Of course i'm in Detroit visiting my parents, not back home. I'm sure back in DC it's dry and boring.
What's going on with western pac water temps? They've fallen off a cliff in the past week or so. Was there a storm out there that churned the waters up or did some glacier just fall into the ocean? Warm blob is migrating east toward AK too.
Up at the cabin at 3k ft we hardly had any color. Leaves just turned brown and fell off. Drought I guess. Down here in the lowlands we haven't really had any change yet except the tops of my tallest sweetgum trees. Our tulip trees are still green here with just a few leaves turning yellow here and there.
I woke up to a wet yard, apparently it rained sometimes before dawn. Bummer as I was planning on cutting the grass and doing yardwork before the storm.
Note to our younger members - we haven't had one in so long you might not know what one of these is. We used to get these from time to time and generally involves wind and rain/snow.
