No deluges, but it's been raining pretty steady, going into the 2nd day now. Yesterday, it rained consistently throughout the day with very few breaks in the action. I was actually worried about it freezing last night, as it was 34 yesterday morning, but it warmed up after the sun went down and the sky became overcast. It's 45 degrees out with rain off and on so far. A good day to have a fireplace.
Whenever I hear of a storm that might knock out power the first thing I do is brew a pot of coffee and put it in a thermos. Seriously, nobody wants to know me if I wake up and can't have coffee almost immediately!!
I can tolerate the rain, even snow. The wind I hate. It's brutal here. I especially HATE March.
I keep my kitchen on the cooler side in the winter, and the coffee cups are pretty cold. I don't like pouring hot coffee into cold cups, steals all the heat, so I put the cup in the toaster oven. 2 minutes at the 'keep warm' (180*) setting.
I don't remember a lot of calls for the fire department to clear the road of a fallen tree during a drought, but they get a lot of calls during rain and high winds.
Kind of? I just got back from Wawa in St. Mary's, down toward the base. Viz is roughly half a mile along 235. When I went back over the bridge, I couldn't see the river. Hell, I could barely see the car in front of me. It was a quarter mile coming through Solomons 47 on this side (in the Ranch Club) and 52 on the other side. Still intermittent rain and it's almost eerily quiet out.
Hey now! We just got the tractor fixed from after the last snow, now you're saying I'm gonna have to repair the chainsaw too???!!!
A pine tree had already dropped this morning into Rt249 in Callaway. It must have been dead a while because it had broken into pieces.
I hold back a lot....
