Okay; I suspect that you must be tired of hearing about our weather, but it's an important facet of life here SOB.
Two days ago we had lots of dark clouds - all day - as they swept past us: no rain.
Yesterday we awoke to a complete cloud cover which then turned into white, fluffy clouds: no rain.
Today the clouds were spotty, nothing dark nor threatening. So tonight we're listening to a percussion piece of thunder and lightning. The actual storm seems to be south of SMA, but we're being exposed to both the lightning and the tremendous, rolling thunder the lightning is producing.
It's a shame we probably won't get any rain from this. The presa is nearly full again, but it will be a long, dry winter and a little extra water is a good thing. Rainy season is next summer. Perhaps it will rain again in January/February?
After a summer spent in southern Indiana with lots of weather (and the appropriate warnings on the weather radio), it's kinda neat to have weather here, too. No weather warnings on the non-existent weather radios, but it's here, just the same. Other than the weather channel's predictions via the internet, our local stations (mostly volunteer) report what happened, not what's going to happen.
Hola - just as I'm writing this the pitter-patter of raindrops has begun in the back yard!
Rain, glorious rain!!!!
