Big rain!

It was pouring as I drove home from work last night. I had my windshield wipers on high. The guy at my gas station said they were predicting winds of up to 80 mph last night and today. Right now it is calm. The driveway is soaked, but I don't see any rain coming down. It is cloudy and dreary, but not that cold. How is the weather where you live?

That’s some big scary wind coming! Don’t let Kitty outside, she will blow away! Currently breezy and 15. Snow and ice isn’t going anywhere today.

@TheHorse Do any other critters come in and surprise you, or just Kitty?

@MarieCoyle Raccons come up the stairs in the Spring, interested in Kitty's food and water.

@TheHorse I hope she is truly street savvy, I've seen raccoons tear into cats before and the results are not pretty. Stay safe, pretty Kitty!

I don't own an umbrella. But I don't mind the rain.

Overcast and cold. Tomorrow sunny and cool. Saturday stormy and not-so-cool. Sunday snowing and cold. Gee, wonder why everyone feels so crummy?

Even the ones who are not planning on flying. Or swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. Let me think.

Winds of 80 mph sounds like hurricane winds. Everything is calm here before the season begins in June.

Does mild cold mean 60s F, or teens C?

@Rimps85 That is perfect (slightly warmish) to me.

Wow! Those are hurricane speeds! It's wet and cold here. Rained all night the night before last, most of the day yesterday, and last night. The sun tried to peek out today, but it wasn't for long. Back in the 30's here tonight. So back to winter time here. Not a happy camper!

I don't see too many small branches on my balcony. We had some winds, but nothing like what was forecast.

I'm glad it wasn't as bad there as predicted and you made it home safely. We're still getting snow on top of the icy rain we had during the night. We're clear up to 17F at almost 12:30 pm. The forecast for today says we might make it up to 30F by late this afternoon.

@TheHorse Anything below 32F is stay inside weather for me. (I guess I could stop taking my thyroid meds and then 17F would feel comfortable to me for an hour or so...)
