How's The Weather By You?

Cold change moved through late today... down to 3 degrees now. The fire is raging !

The rain and thunder woke me up at 5 a.m. but now it is around 9 a.m. and the skies are clearing. Supposed to be 26c today and muggy.
 
We cut our camping trip short on Tuesday due to the rain, and now that we're back in town, it's been raining pretty heavily day and night since Tuesday...and they say it was raining before then also. :rain: Before we left on our trip, it was hot and sunny, 90+F degree temps, now it super wet and high 60s. We have a little flooding in our backyard, as the city water sewer grate is there and it's flooding on and off. May get some things soggy in our storage shed. I really feel bad for those affected by flooding, and the streets are bad, many closed. Hell or high water I guess. :rolleyes:
 
Fall isn't exactly in the air but have noticed some leaves changing and falling, shadows much longer, possible new swell on the horizon . . . just want some rain.
 
These were taken from my front door around 4 pm today. It started raining heavy with pea sized hail around 3:30, after being sunny and calm all day. So, the street is flowing like a river in around a half hour, it's over the sidewalks and a little bit onto my driveway.

The back yard has a good little river flowing from the sewer, toward our shed. There was so much lightning, that I didn't chance going out there for a pic...plus, it's really dark, the lighter pic is auto adjust on the computer so things can be seen. Lots of thunder and lightning, so my dog is not a happy camper right now. Still coming down, but now it's lighter and heavier, on and off.

It's quieted down quite a bit, just raining lightly now. But some streets not too far from me are completely flooded, cars stuck and getting submerged under water. When it comes on that fast, it's hard for people to get home to safety. Luckily I did my shopping this morning while the sun was still out. Saw some farmland on the news completely flooded. They had to take some young cows away for special care, since they can get pneumonia from the cold and rain. The crops are ruined, and the horses and cows look so sad. They said there might be issues getting feed to them, even if they have donors. :(
 
Seabreeze, I hope you don't get water in your house.

Rain stopped overnight here, sun is out and everything is shiny and fresh. Cooler temps but that's not so bad.
 
I haven't been on here lately..

Just a quick update on what's going on here as far as the weather goes..

We already had our first real heavy frost that totally destroyed our vegetables.. ALL GONE !!! Just some red onions left..
We have already had the main furnace on in the house because it was really cold.. Went down to a lovely -2c at night.. The fireplace is going almost every day..
The leaves are turning red and gold and many are dropping already.. I already raked leaves in front of our house from the birch tree..
Our camping trailer is winterized..
The locals are talking of hunting very soon..
The local garages are starting advertising winter tires..
The robins have left.. Gone south..

All this and it is only mid September.. I actually saw some red leaves on trees in the end of August..

I sent a PM to TWHRider and Ozarkgal, neither have replied. :( I'm hoping they're okay, and just busy with everyday life. Keeping my fingers crossed to hear from them again. :sentimental:
