#SOL24: Weather Ready

Tax day has come and gone. Four years ago we had four inches of snow and it was snowman-building, wet, slushy, packing snow.

This morning a boom woke me. Thunder. And then the tap, tap of raindrops on the window. Round one.

The meteorologists have been consistent all week about a weather alert. (As consistent as the #1 WNBA Draft pick!)

We need the rain. Parts of the state remain in a severe drought status. But I’m kinda partial to one weather at a time. It’s too warm for snow.

What a relief!

But it IS warm enough for severe weather. The 70s. Possible wind, thunderstorms, hail, and tornados. Dorechos seem to be in a two year cycle.

Miles to go today. Rain will be fine. Mother Nature can keep all the other icky weather stuff. Nice, easy, gentle, soaking rain. That’s my wish for today’s weather.

What weather will you see today? Rainy? Windy? Hail? A tornado or two? What’s your plan?

  1. I’ve got a blue sky here in Virginia. But so many blossoms blown off the trees yesterday after a sudden thunderstorm passed through. You have me pondering about what this weather all means. One thing is for sure, we have no control over the weather. We can only predict and report it and live through it. Drive safely today.

    1. The electricity just went off. Yikes!
      This is only a test!

  2. We had severe storms and thunder the other night. Today – blue skies and sunshine. Tomorrow – rain. Thursday – rain. Friday – rain. Yard work is not getting done.

    1. No electricity but I have wifi. Could be an interesting day.
      Calm
      Not currently storming.
