It's amazing how I went from bitching that every weekend had precipitation to my yard having rock hard soil and dormant grass. This morning the dews just hit me different, like I'm really starting to get sick of them. I don't like them to begin with but I do my best to embrace whatever weather we have but this morning might have been my breaking point LOL

The longer nights do make it cool down more than it did in June and July though.  I don't keep my a/c on all night like I did in those months.

That said, it came back on at 11 am today, it's really humid even without any sun.

Been busy... Looks like I got .5 on Wednesday. It dried up in no time Yesterday driving home I found the only rain around. Good thing too because the windshield was covered in bugs and I could hardly see. That stretch between Binghamton and Roscoe is brutal for bugs.

Saw that heading my way on radar, looked good, it added another .08" to my weekly total, which is up to .18".

I actually saw the backside of the cell from a few miles east of Binghamton. The upper third was lit up by the sunset so I watched it for almost 2 hours until it got too dark. I caught up to it around Goshen.

That sounds stunning and absolutely amazing, did you get to see a rainbow too?

I had a similar situation on July 3rd and captured a stunning double rainbow with purple skies.  That almost happened with this storm, but the sky was too dark and the beginnings of the rainbow looked pale and almost a light pink color against the purple skies.
