9. it's light until 5 where you live?!?
|
It's been pitch black by 4pm here in the northland. Yes, I know it's worse even further north.
This morning it was so dark at 7:09, yesterday's official sunrise time, that I wondered if the sun decided to sleep in on the solstice. Or maybe wasn't going to rise ever again. Gulp. Now we are having a wild wind and rain storm. One storm door was nearly torn off its hinges...the door frame is damaged. 3" of rain yesterday, and we're closing in on 3" again today. A windy night is a power night. We've got a lot of power blowing around tonight! |

15. not so much lately...
|
It's been cloudy and rainy for what seems like ever. Just a few minutes ago, coming in from settling Dahli and Polly in for the night, as I was headed to the house it switched from drizzle to a deluge of sleet. In the few seconds it took me to get to the house, everything turned from mushy brown to mushy white, lol.
At some point, I think by Monday, it's supposed to get sunny again. Along with back to normal well below freezing temps. Then back to warm and rainy by mid-late week... |
