Rain again. Haven't seen sun in...don't remember. On-and-off rain and constant fog for the past week. Rain is supposed to stop tomorrow, but still no sun. The 50's and 60's that were in the 10-day forecast last week have all disappeared. Now it's showing temps in the 40s. Looks like no outside riding for a while yet.

82 in the shade this afternoon
I mowed the lawns while the painter stripper was working. Flat back and all 4 sides are bare on second door. MAYBE. 1/4 of the intricate front is sanded down by hand

We've had steady rain here since last night, occasionally switching over to snow and back to rain. Temps holding at 34 F.....

Something called Sunshine is supposed to happen tomorrow. That'll be different.

I know that it isn't a big deal for you retired folks, but I have not had to wear my sunglasses or deal with glare while commuting in about two weeks now.....

My BF in Halifax told me the same thing. We are just on the edge of the storm and just getting some light snow at the moment. The wind is another story.

Supposed to get ~3 1/2 inches of rain at the end of the week and beginning of the next. Let's see if the forecast holds true.

We're in for about the same total. If I had washed my truck this weekend, it woulda been 100% happening

I got up this morning at 3 A.M. Pacific and was shocked to see that the outside temp was 60F. It's mid-winter, for Pete's sake!

It was -15 and an icy tundra two weeks ago. Today it's 62 and all the snow is gone. Ahh the weather in Kansas City.

Cloudy, winds are starting to blow, high surf advisory, 61. And yet, most of the day has felt somewhat more pleasant, not even wearing my jacket in the office.

First "heavy" rain is supposed to splash down around 4am tomorrow. I'm going to bed early in case we get called in.

Will be in the low 50s this weekend with some sun. I will try and get my car washed at the "do it yourself" car wash place and bring my own mitt and soap.

Will do the same with my wife's as well. Her Aviator is a different shade of white right now. lol

My Crocodile Dundee felt hat?

My 5-gallon bucket in the back yard had almost 2" when I left this morning around 6. Since then there have been some serious downpours at work. The sandbags I deployed in the gutter last night seem to have kept the water flowing out of the neighbor's yard and down the road.
