Rain report

As I mentioned, the Aerie had 0.12 inches of rain this morning. That was on top of 0.14 that fell last night. In addition, we had another 0.18 inches this afternoon--some of which fell as the sun was shining.


Currently the sun is shinning brightly and there are only a few picturesque cumulus clouds are present. And the temperature has risen to 66°F!


There's still the possibility of a shower or two overnight. According to the weather quacks. I'm thinking of hanging a weather rock out in the yard. It would give a better idea of what the weather is than either weather.com or accuweather.com.

UPDATE: Well, that didn't last long. A few minutes after I posted about the lovely cumulus clouds, they all pushed to the south and a thick dark gray cloud cover took over and hid the sun. And now (6:45 PM) it is raining again.

(Call me slow, but I just noticed that the time stamp does not use Daylight Savings Time and thus, instead of 6:05 PM this post was listed as having originally appeared at 5:06 PM. That makes a difference when considering the rapid change in weather conditions noted in the update.)

UPDATE 2: Doh! Not 15 minutes and the sun is out and the rain has stopped. Time for a rock.

Not only is the weather rock more accurate, it doesn't depend on an unpredictable TV or DSL signal.

It works more cheaply, too.
