Yesterday was gloomy and cold, then in a few minutes in the afternoon we got 0.10″ of rain. A regular cloudburst. This weekend and week is supposed to get better and better.

Between Showers
Rainy days, but tomorrow is Easter and the promise of sunshine!
After the Storm
Clearing skies and clouds scudding by, chill from all the snow in the mountains.
After the rain came the fog…
Got a half inch today.
Narrow Trough
Monday dawned bright as clouds moving in were lit-up by sunrise.
After the trough moved through we got about a quarter inch of rain on Tuesday, and Wednesday dawned considerably cooler by a good twenty-degrees average daily temp…
Weather Moving Through
Got a teensy bit of rain, about 0.01″ of overnight rain, but from Monday onward it’s heating back up to the 80’s.
Late Summer Reminder of Winter
As the forecast weather-speak states, “The unseasonably strong closed upper low is over northwest California early this morning. Radar shows showers continuing near the low center, and a large band of showers with some embedded thunder covering the northern Sierra in the frontal zone ahead of the low.”
In other news, our fire season has been remarkably quiet with just a few small incidents like this nearby 8-acre blaze that was quickly extinguished with the Hammer of ‘Tardent.
Change in the Weather
It’s been a hot-as-usual Summer, but a little tropical disturbance down in SoCal is sending ripples north.
We got some wind and “damp,” just enough to freak-out the doggie who insisted on sharing the bed briefly – until she decided to go out and look for adventure around 1:40AM.
77.7°F at 7:00AM
It just never cooled-down much overnight, after yesterday’s high of 108.5°F – but all these morning clouds is a bit weird…
The insulated garage is proving every bit of its worth and value, particularly for the health of the doggie, and the new 7-cu/ft garage freezer holds blocks of ice to cool her little pool. And without the roof insulation the freezer would be overloaded and not even function.
Sun Screen
On the deck we the raised the solar screen of surrender, going into another weekend of triple-digit heat. The other side of the house already has two screens up to deflect the afternoon blast. They both help.
