A while back there were 2 winters in a row where the first flakes were on November 30th in the form of snow flurries, and those winters rocked, so I'm okay with things waiting till the end of November to set up.
Made it to 30F here early this morning. Coldest reading so far this fall. Beautiful days with plenty of sunshine, looks like the streak will continue through a good part of next week with some warming.
It is fading a bit, just had a sprinkle here, blue sky overhead but clouds otherwise. Looks like another hour or so of shower chances then hopefully some sun after that.
Lol, I guess. Wound up with 0.43" of unexpected rain here, with some lightning and thunder thrown in, so it was a good alternative. Good smelling rain too.
So our grass planting ran a little late this year for a few reasons, and we got out the frost blankets. This is an area that we seeded 2 weeks ago yesterday, which had minimal grass on it.
I had already taken up the blanket on the near side of the tree when I took the first pic, and the second one is afterward. We call it the jiffy pop effect, lol.
It was a pretty stormy late afternoon and early evening here as well. Winds were strong, lost power briefly a couple of times, and so far 1.30" of rain. Quieted down a good bit now. Radar looks pretty cool:
Not being well versed in painters, I had to look him up. I probably saw him a couple of times on PBS back in the day, seems he was a good and inspiring teacher.
There was a cloud a few minutes before that image that was shaped exactly like a donut, but it morphed before I got a pic.
Been seeing a fair amount of lightning off to the south and southwest. Winds starting to pick up. Getting pretty stormy. Interesting way to start off this event!
Hearing a boatload of walnuts falling, I suspect by Wednesday they'll be just about all down. Bumper crop this year, and taking their time dropping.
Yeah, I read the warning for northern Delaware, and southwest Delco is included, although my point and click doesn't have a warning (yet).
Just finished mowing the back, just in time it looks like (plus it's dark now, lol).
Eta, got the warning.
That second batch looked vigorous for a bit, but it started dissipating before it got here. Received about 0.10" total from both showers. Sun is coming back out, but no rainbow this time.
