We just got what passes for miserable weather for SoCal: two days running of rain and frequent, closely spaced showers and temps around 50 -- dank. It let up today.

Significant rain this past week should bring us to one hundred percent of a normal annual rainfall, so there is that. The hills will stay green.

Hard rain and 40/50 mph wind, but only 18 mph now.

Basement flooded a little this morning. But I cleaned pollen out of the storm drain and the water flowed out of the basement door and into the drain. Disaster averted.

Now I’m watching the breathless weathermen calling this batch of storms passing through. Weird seeing them talk about what they can see out their living room window as they point to their computer monitor radar.

Looks like the worst of the storms are passing to the East and West of me.

Even snowmen, who will not be around next month, are social distancing.

It's in the low 50s and rainy. It's cold enough to see my breath as I worked in the yard.

The light is pretty.

We're having a heat wave; out in a t-shirt (accessorized with rainbow suspenders). 5:30 pm and bright and sunny. Cat's been laying out in the sunbeam for solar-thermal power to his sable pelt.

Nicer day today, expecting bee traffic. The place is pretty muddy for my lumber project so things might be on hold a little while.

Hot Town, Summer in the Arctic

Verkhoyansk, Siberia, first place above the Arctic Circle to ever reach 100 F that we know of.
Caribou, Maine, tied an all-time record at 96 F.

For reference, Miami, Florida has only hit 100 F once since 1896.
