It's already nice & warm here, but it was too good to be true. The winter's coming back as we speak. Each day will be colder. Today is going to be 50F and in three days... 24F 🙁
Razzlefrackle 👿 .... that same system is paying us a visit too. Glorious day on Tuesday, clear skies and warmth from the Sun... 17C/63F. Ah well short summers here 😆

Well, after a couple of weeks of fine weather, a fast system arrived tonight.
Within half an hour howling winds came from the NW (thanks Alaska) and pounding rain, temperature dropped like a stone.
The flimsy little Brahea armata "tent" started to tip over.
Raced out to right it, hail on my head actually hurt, but the palm is saved 😆
Turned on all the C-9 lights at its base, also the two Washies.
Wow, what a storm.
The ground might be white tomorrow morning.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Sure is, Tim.
Only the hills were white this morning.
Still a very cold wind out of the NW.
We may make it to 5 or 6C today, half of yesterday. 😥
Throw another log in the stove... 🙄

So sorry, Mike :confused2:
Must've been thinking of having Timbits for lunch 😆
So, I'd better not even ask who Gordon Bennett is 😕
That's awful weather, Andy.
Not much different than ours this week. 👿

LOL, nope. Just about a half inch of rain, all I want, thank you for my tulips and hyacinths and trachies.
