It's been raining almost continuously since early this morning, and it's evening now and it's still going. We don't get this very often.
Everything was still soaked when we got up this morning, so it looks like it might have rained more during the night, but it had stopped by morning. It's been been in the 50-60s and cloudy all day, so everything is still fairly wet. A lot of the time when it rains, the sun will come out and by later that day, or the next day, you won't even be able to tell it ever rained. That definitely did not happen this time.
74 degrees and sunny ( though at 1730 HRS. the sun is starting to go down). As predicted, it's been shorts & T-shirt weather on Christmas Day.
Lots of thunder and lightning. Lightning struck the Wendy's on the north side of town causing it to catch fire. Then, the temp dropped like a stone in the afternoon and we went from rain, to sleet, to snow in a few hours. I thought I heard 4 horses galloping after that.
It's gotten a little bit warmer the last couple days, and it's supposed to keep warming up until we possibly hit 71 by Saturday. It's been warm enough in the afternoons that we've been able to go with just long sleeves shirts on our middays walks, and it was warm enough we wished we'd changed into T-shirts a couple times. My morning bike rides have also been getting more comfortable the last couple days.
Crap. Cloudy, warm and a bit of rain. I can't function when it's just white boring awfulness outside. I call it the Nothing, like in The Neverending Story. i'd rather just straight up heat or rain or cold or whatever.
