The Ark better have a heater!

Jeez, what a rotten day today has been weather wise.

It started by being just 58 degrees at 7 AM and never got above 66 degrees all day. There wasa steady but not strong breeze out of the north most of the day which helped keep the temperatures down. (Thanks a heap Canada!)

Then there was that 60% chance of rain that was forecast. Well, we got it. It would rain for around 40 minutes of every hour, but never the same 40 minutes. We might have even strung together an entire 40 minutes of no rain with a tiny bit of sunshine during one two hour stretch. Some of the showers were subtle, some were not. Thunder occurred more than once during the afternoon.

Seems July has started out just like June. Which was, of course, more like a typical April with lots of showers and cold (yeah, COLD, not cool) temperatures.

Global warming my gluttious maximus!

The only thing that is really enjoying this weather is the grass. It needs cutting badly but until there's a few hours of continuous sunshine, I will not be able to do the deed.

66 was our high for the day, except it's clouding up & has dropped to 60 at 3:30. Our warmest part of the day is around 5 pm - assuming the sun is out (weaker sunlight = longer time required to raise temp).

We didn't get any rain, though, and the friendly quacks at AccuHunch are guessing we might hit 70 tomorrow.

Jeeze, 3C, 5:40 AM? Oh, that's right. You've got cows and cowhands to care for. I've just got the three cats and they don't start until 6 or 6:30 AM.

Got down to 55 over night which was comfortable for sleeping. This morning (6:30 AM) it was still only 57 degrees and cloudy.
