Nice storm moved up off of LI Sound and right over the house. Heavy, heavy rain and LOUD booming thunder. Best of the year so far down here.

74/58 Blue skies with a few fluffy white clouds and a nice breeze. Doesn't get better than this.

Total fucking coc here.

I've hear of baseball and softball size hail.....but DVD size??

Muggy all afternoon yesterday. Cooler and dryer today.

Nice cells just missed to my NW as well. Heard a couple rumbles. Looking forward to .10" of rain.

Plenty of dews down here in SE CT. 75/64 here and at KSNC currently.

Was just going to write...from one bowling ball to another. At least we're on the east side of this one for now. Better for the garden.

Thunder down here with that storm moving away from me to the east. More storms forming overhead and to the Northwest.

Installed on Memorial Day. Used it to cool off the bedroom for an hour each night before sleep time. Nice and cool every night so no need to keep it running.

Fantasy 372 hour model forecasts; I think we had plenty of those this winter too.

61 and steady rain now. Nice to get the pollen knocked down today. Wash the truck and car tomorrow.

Beautiful sunny spring morning down here. After an impressively cool low of 36 already up to 53. Sorry not sorry.

Never went away down here. Found ticks on my dog or self every month this past winter.

"KOKX WILL BE DOWN FOR GENERATOR MAINTENANCE FOR APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT EIGHT DAYS" This never makes sense to me. Generator is a backup system. They must have some kind of cutoff switch between the generator and the main power and system. Flip that switch and work on the generator while the radar is still operational.

Sump pump kicking on now. CANCELLED.

Lightning and thunder every couple of hours since 11:30pm. Looked like hail in one storm missed the house by less than a 1/4 mile at -11:40pm.

Magnolia are fantastic down here and up to at least Colchester. The one just NE of the Colchester green is glorious. Haven't been any farther north in the state in the past 3 weeks to know about other areas.

67 imby after a high of 68. Better than the 53 at KGON - ouch!!

Sprinklers tomorrow, air conditioners today??

Ever since we took down the Norway Maples in the yard about 6 years ago I haven't really seen too many squirrels. Always have chipmunks running around in the stone walls though.

Yep, no squirrels or chipmunks so far. Seen the local rabbit out in the backyard the past few nights though.

54-55 the entire day. Fog cleared just in time for the sun to set.
