Tradition for me growing up was to turn on the Mummers on New Year's Day and start dismantling Christmas - all stuff down and packed away on New Year's Day (which is what I did here yesterday although the rain postponed the parade until today... but the lights and wreaths were taken in very early before the rains started up). I kept some "seasonal" artificial plants around the house though.
When I checked in here and saw there were 33 replies, I figured something was up and some legit threat had apparently been spotted. I could actually hear the Ji fireworks going off up here.
Regardless, I ended up with 1.02" of rain for yesterday's total and have an additional 0.11" in the bucket this morning (total 1.13 for the 2-day event so far). Looks like the precip. is pretty much done for now though.
Currently misty and 52 with dp 52.
