then the rains came

[ERLover]

Had a weird storm blow through yesterday about 13:00. Wind, thunder, lightning, slow drizzle, which developed into a downpour. Temp dropped to 40 and, the rain became little white balls, too soft to be called hail. Covered the ground pretty good. Clouds parted, the white balls melted and, by 17:00 the temp was 50.
It's now 05:00 and 30 degrees. Not a cloud in the sky. Supposed to hit 70.
Strange weather on the mesa

Just be glad you are NOT in the Midwest today and tonight!!!!

Yep. Just rounding.

I would call that 'truncating'.

That's what happens when nature calls between composing and posting.

We got through Sunday night with all the rain and wind nearly 60 mph. Two places around us measured 57 and 58 and a tree limb I wanted to cut out is now on the ground and no one hurt. It did graze the roof with only a bent shingle tab over the flashing. Lots of clean up. Had to upright a couple of garbage cans. We, along with 14000 residents were without electricity from about 12:30 am until about 6 am. And, now the evening news forecasts another round a bit more intense about the same time on Wednesday into Thursday. But, afterward, the temps will only get into the upper 70's and the humidity will be lower. That I like.

I just love it when she says I can go make sawdust.
