Re: MAY 2020

It seems to me that, for the most part, the models have proven themselves to be not bad, it's just the location of the 'big' weather. As the Mets say, the center of the weather can move north-south, or east-west just a bit to make one place facing floods, and another still in drought. THAT, we've se...

Re: MAY 2020

Hopefully, the weather cooperates tomorrow, as the Lone Star Flight Museum is planning a fly-over over the greater Houston area. They're trying to get ~20 vintage aircraft in the flight, depending on availability and clearance from the operators: https://www.lonestarflight.org/public/FttF_FlyOver_P...

Re: MAY 2020

I was going to go out and at least have a look. Didn't hear anything, and was quietly working away when I heard on my radio stream that the fly over was done. :-(

Re: MAY 2020

Looks like we got about a 1/2" between last night and this morning's showers. That's a good thing, since stuff was starting to get dry.

Light rain in the swamps of Pearland, too. Looks like it isn't over until it's over, though.

Re: April 2020

Y’all.....I’m willing - at this point - to trade toilet paper for rain. Please mail any rain to: “Pas Bon, League City, TX” Thanks. Don't you worry. Since it's been so dry, we've scheduled our tractor guy to come out and mow our back lot on Tuesday. Looks like we'll be getting water from that syste...

Re: April 2020

The rain gauge is showing 0.02" since midnight, but it looks like we got a bit more than that overnight. I'd estimate ~1/4"?

Re: March 2020

From just watching the radar loop, it does look like most of the energy is skating northward. Hopefully that trend continues, but who knows what happens as the squall line approaches the coast?

Running the AC in february to be able to sleep... :x I'll take that! :D Actually, our house 'leaks' enough that it cools down fairly rapidly at night. Good ol' 1970's building at work again. It does beat the heck out of standing on a ladder in 40-deg, 15-MPH north wind trying to get the citrus cove...

More and more species of trees are starting to bloom. The maples and elms are starting to leaf out. Early spring this year. Hopefully it will be a prolonged spring of nice weather before we get too hot. .26” of rain so far with more on the way. The sweetgum buds are getting fat, but nothing seems t...

Hopefully the dry weather prevails. I need time to sump out the low spots in the back yard. It would be nice to get things dry enough to mow back there!
