Outside My Window ~ 7.03.2016
Outside my window….is a cool 70°F with heavy cloud cover afternoon. Lots of humidity too ~ 87%. It poured rain this morning….all morning. The flood canal in back was well over the banks and the side yard was deep with standing water. The grounds are saturated now. I like how everything is so clean….so lush and green…after a rain. It isn’t raining now – hasn’t been for a couple of hours. It is about 2:50 Sunday afternoon and the skies look like they may not be finished with the rain. There is a 40% chance of rain in my area for the rest of the night. Unless there is considerable…

Outside My Window ~ 5.19.2013
Outside my window…is a rather dreary Sunday afternoon. There is full cloud cover with the sun making a feeble attempt to show itself. I say feeble because I believe it could come out and shine if it really wanted to. I’m not sure what location The Weather Channel dude is reporting from but they are saying mostly sunny and 78°F…not so. Cloudy and 78°F is more like it. We have a chance of thunderstorms after 6:00 this evening, it is definitely humid enough to conjure up a storm when you mix in a little afternoon heat. We have had a weekend of storms and rain that began with a rather powerful thunderstorm at around 3:00 Saturday…

Outside My Window ~ 1.13.2013
Outside my window…is the closing hours of what was a rather foggy weekend. The sun did manage to break through late this afternoon…it was nice to see it after a few days. In addition to the fog, it was unseasonably warm as well. Today we had a high temperature of 66°F . Currently at 9:30 this evening it is 62° and there is another dense fog warning for the evening. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for an 80% chance of rain and a high of 64°; we will drop down to the mid forties with rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. The ground is so saturated now…after three days of rain, it will be weeks before I can finish the…

Outside My Window ~ 10.28.2012
Outside my window…is a dreary, rainy, windy, chilly, miserable morning. Yup, I think that about covers it. We are awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Sandy sometime tomorrow but because the storm is so huge, we are getting a taste of what is to come for now. The rain started late yesterday afternoon….the wind began about that time too. It rained all night….not torrential downpours, just a steady rain…and the wind really picked up the pace sometime in the early morning hours. Right now, at 9:00 Sunday morning, it is 59°F and the winds are at 19 mph, gusting to 32 mph from the northeast. The front that moved across the…

Outside My Window ~ 8.26.2012
Outside my window…at 5:45 this evening it is pouring rain, thunder and lightening…..for the last hour. We are currently at 75°F with a flood advisory until 7:00 this evening….and a pollen alert? Seriously….pollen? The rain is forecast to stop around 8:00 this evening. There is a section of my street that is already flooding again. Yesterday morning we received three inches of hard rain in three hours and it flood a good deal of our region. When I last checked early yesterday we had received 3.54 inches of rain….I don’t know what the final tally was for my area, let’s just say I have two very full rain barrels. …

Outside My Window ~ 4.29.12
Outside my window…is another Sunday night wrapping up. We had a nice and fairly gloomy weekend in Hampton Roads this past weekend. Our next to nothing chance of rain turned in to quite a downpour of some time on Saturday and while Sunday brought little rain, it did bring the gray clouds for the day. Our temperatures were in the low 60’s with a little wind on Saturday. It made me grateful that I did a little work in my flower beds Thursday and Friday evenings….would have been a bit damp to do so this weekend. We went from unbelievably high temperatures to unseasonably cool temperatures in the span of…

Under the weather….

Outside My Window ~ 9.26.11
Outside my window…in a word ~ wet. We are so wet around here I noticed mushroom rings popping up in lawns everywhere. The fairies have been busy! 🙂 We had rain showers on and off all weekend at varying degrees. This morning began as foggy and graduated to mostly cloudy by the time I got off work….just enough sunlight to require sunglasses while I drove home. Currently at 9:45 we are at 74°F with a forecast low of 70°F and scattered thunderstorms tonight. Tomorrow there is a greater chance of rain and a high of 80°F which is where we will hover until Saturday when we will get no…

Outside My Window ~ 9.19.2011
Outside my window…is a mild albeit mostly cloudy Monday afternoon. Our temperature during the noon hour is 72°F….close to the forecast high of 73°F. We had rain all weekend…not torrential rains, light and steady for the most part. Tomorrow will be warmer with a forecast high of 80°F and a chance of thunderstorms. With the exception of a few warmer days in the middle of the week, we will experience more days like today over the next week or so. I’m loving me some cooler temperatures….don’t even mind the rain showers. I am thinking…or maybe I should say I am hoping beyond hope that the repairs for my daughter’s car…

Outside My Window ~ 4.17.11
Outside My Window…is bright blue skies….lots of sunshine….some wind….and about 59°F at 11:15 a.m. this fine Sunday morning. Our forecast high is 67°F with lots of sunshine and wind. That is to be expected after a cold front moves through the area I suppose..the wind. Yesterday was quite different ~ I woke up to cloudy skies, the kind that are dark and heavy and move quietly over you. I don’t believe the sun made an appearance at all yesterday. Later, the television began a series of warning alerts with advisories that we had severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes moving our way. As the sun set, the alerts came more often…the skies…
