We’ve got weather, lots of weather

Last Friday, before I headed north to the Bolt Hole and while the gutters guys were working on the installation of our beeee-u-t-full new gutters, it was drizzling with a few spritzes of snow showers mixed in. It continued after dark and amounted to a little over 0.1 inches of precipitation.

Monday evening, Terry reports that we had nearly 0.2 inches of rain. (It rained up north too. I could hear it coming down as I was making the final cuts on the chunks of red meat, turning some into steaks but mostly trimming the pieces in to stew meat, in the kitchen of the Bolt Hole.)

Yesterday it was mizzling most of the day but last night it started to rain in earnest. From dark until dawn we have had a steady, light rain with occasional heaver showers. It’s supposed to continue through the day growing gradually lighter in intensity and colder as well. It may change this evening to light snow showers that will finally end Friday morning. Mix in the much shorter daylight hours as we continue to slide toward the Winter Solstice and you’ve got one very depressing situation.

UPDATE: Oh, poop! It's snowing to beat the band. nearly whiteout conditions in the yard as huge wet flakes are falling. And we're supposed to drive over to Beaver Mountain in Deposit, NY this morning.

Send some of that precipitation, in whatever form you've got it, down to us poor dried-out folks in North Carolina! As of today, the folks that monitor such stuff say we have 54 days of water left before the reservoir is dry - and we'll be sucking mud before that. No rain in the forecast. We're down 22" from normal for the year.
