The heavy rain forecast for yesterday mostly stayed away from Austin. Not the first time that's happened. San Antonio has had a pretty good soaking overnight and the remnants of that are arriving here soon. In fact I just heard some thunder.

I heard quite a bit of heavy rain and thunder last night. Some of the thunder was close and loud enough to even startle my cats who usually are oblivious to the weather. My dog was likely catatonic, no pun intended.

My father reported 2.53" of rain in the 24 hours ending at 07:00 this morning.

There was a lightning strike close by here not long after I posted this morning. Fair startled me it did

It looks like the coastal plains did best out of the rain. A bit too much. I've seen totals of 10" - 12" around Fayette County.

I don't think I mentioned the fog. We had fog or mist most mornings last week starting on Monday or Tuesday. A couple of them were real pea soupers.

I think it was Friday, if not then Saturday, that we had fog until about 3:30... when it started raining. It was weird seeing rain with fog at the same time.

I don't think I have either. That's very strange.

I'm very happy to see the temperatures during the coming week. Yesterday afternoon was everything I think of as January in Texas (or June in London) - clear blue sky, around 70°, nothing more than a light breeze. Perfect

Yes, yes you did.

What threw me about that was that the previous day was a day off but yesterday I was back at work and doing this much earlier, so the date stamp still said 'yesterday', yet the numbers were from two days back I didn't have time to work it all out as I was getting ready to go and catch a bus, so that's the first time I've missed a report since I began using this format, except for during the hiatus

And it took me a longer route than usual to get here this morning. Just lately I've been getting the Cloudflare page about one time in four when I try to do this in the morning, but today I got "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" from my More Postings bookmark, which has happened before but not for some time. I managed to navigate here from my Egg Banjo edited entry bookmark and My Space link.

We got 1.43" overnight and it was still raining at 7:00am when the reading was taken.

The coastal plains have been getting hit pretty hard in these recent rains, the Hill Country where it's needed, not so much.

As we go past 10,000 posts for the second time () there was a beautiful sunrise this morning, but I'm looking at that Tuesday morning temperature with a The afternoon temperature hints that this isn't another freeze on the way. I hope we're done with that for this winter.
