Imagine where they'd be without him as is likely next season.....

It's raining. Seasons in seasons as they say in LA. We once went 7 months without one drop of rain! Honestly this system to me seems pretty well modeled for MBY. Looks like a nice big rain event without the serious flood worries people in CT/RI may experience but who knows? My French drain may be put to the test after a long rest. I have never experienced basement flooding in this house thanks to it.

3k drenches

Barry Burbank was on a few hours before theoretical landfall and when he said “It can’t miss now” Edouard jogged east and missed-lol.

In defense of Kevin I did a nice walk in shorts and tee shirt about an hour ago.

Sweatshirt. Sweaters are daily cold season garb. T-shirt with sweater over. But tonight it will likely be sweatshirt when I do my late night walk.

Sweatshirt late tonight it seems.

Probably worthless but since it’s predicting a cold snowy winter I am saying that I agree.

When I get beaten by the dews and heat it’s been a hot summer....just sayin.....

Pretty hot today

So….is this the September pattern thread?

Slowly waking up.

Looks way above normal mainly for the first half of September

Not yet.

A very slight hint of autumn this afternoon.

The closest I came was during a ferocious event in Los Angeles of all places. It was around 3/1/83 during a strong nino. The stj was aimed right at us. I was in a bowling league and never got home before midnight Monday nights. I probably was home 15 minutes when the line of storms hit with as good as severe as I’ve seen for many hours. A tornado destroyed the LA Convention Center that night. When I got to my office (private office in those days) I had to strategically place buckets to catch water from the roof that didn’t hold. I have frequently shortened sleep to 3-4 hours during big snow events but never an all nighter and never will unless it’s a necessity such as danger to my family or myself or my home.

All kidding aside pool swimming is probably the best exercise out there for maintaining joint integrity.

Warm today. Very sad as our beloved doggie had to be put down yesterday evening. 14 happy years with so many snow memories. RIP Honey.

We’ve heard this before…..

Smart move!

Once you reach well into your 70s that’s the default.

Jeff, I’m very happy to see you back!

Looks like a reach around en route

But this is 2012-13 winter we’re discussing.

Well the whole winter was warm but each month had snow and February and March were great snow months.
