Yep, spent today cleaning up and preparing the rest of the garden area for planting tomorrow all the 'warm' stuff. 'Maters and peppers, cukes, squash and such go out in the morning, per the CA transplant that is itching to get stuff in the ground, lol.

Wow, BOTH home teams lose after leading going into the 3rd period tonight

Was 45.6 here for the low. Sun has broke thru in last hour and temp finally up into low 60's after a mostly cloudy and cool morning/day in the 50's.

46.4 for the low here this morning, feels nice.

Set a new rainfall record with 1.17 inches in the gauge at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading. Old mark was 1.06 inches from 2009. Currently 53.6/52.8 and mostly cloudy.

Looks like .60 or so, still raining.

I'll have to get a flashlight and try to eyeball the gauge, but been pouring here for last 15 minutes.

Made it up to 72 around noon, couple light rain showers with distant thunder in last hour has dropped us back to 65.5/58.8 currently.

Not much on the rain front, but had a 38 mph gust just now in an ongoing thundershower.

DCA: +1.8 NYC: +1.9 BOS: +1.7 ORD: +2.1 ATL: +1.4 IAH: +1.1 DEN: +1.5 PHX: +0.5 SEA: +0.4

Caps on to 2nd round.

LOL, looking at visible sat just now, the weather today is brought to you by the letter 'G', floating across southern Virginia.

Had a shower (no thunder) shortly after midnight, then again just around sunrise, but only 0.05 in the gauge. Guess that is better than zero. Currently 60.4/58.8 and cloudy at 8 am.

Yep, couple years ago I had one 'hollering' while on the phone (and the back door open) with my now wife (she was still living in CA at the time) and she heard it through the phone! She said 'what in the world was that?!?'
