Close as I can figure it rained on and off all night but about 4am it was a down poor and has not stopped raining although it is a bit lighter and its cold, yes cold down to 68.2 d and I cant see the ocean or mountains this morning which is most unusual. Burr, not a good day for t-shirt shorts and sandals, I know maybe I will ware shoes.

I wonder how Moi is doing after the hail storm yesterday?

No Hail here.

A very nice rain and a few days of soft, sunny warmth.

Truly, The Land of the Lotus Eaters.

Got Motivation? You probably don't live here

Today I have been planting a couple of Tomato plants and a Raspberry plant.

The sweet shelling peas are growing vigorously and the loquats are somewhat ripe without bitterness

if you know to go for the Orange ones and not the Bright Yellow ones.

80F and so dry I can see Catalina Island from my bedroom

Finally turned on the A/C to get the warm house down to livable.

I know 80F is still 4 degrees too cold for RiverLava but I miss the sweater weather of a week ago.

How's your winter eastern folks. Share.

Finally talking of high temperatures near seasonal average. Have had night temps around zero or below. Only 3 days this year with high temps of 40. have about half as much snow on the ground as we had at this time last year but still way too much.

We've had one-third the normal snowfall, but high school hockey isn't over yet, so who knows. Sposed to be in the 50s next week! can deal with that: T-shirts , short pants, and sandals.

Some moisture in the air and cooling temperatures have made for a sweet atmosphere.

Due to get hot and dry soon.

Rain about 7.5 inches this season. No March Miracle seems to be in store.

Maybe April Showers will arrive.

I would hope for a total of 13 inches although I have witnesses years of over 30.

finally normal today.

though there is dark snow melting I was able to comfortably drive the care with the heater off and the window rolled down today.

ready for spring.

luv the spring...

"APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding

Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing

Memory and desire, stirring

Dull roots with spring rain."

All its done here for the last month is rain, rain and more rain its raining right now has been raining all night. I had to go out and start the generator for electricity as there is no sun for the solar and its cold, well cold is in the eyes of the beholder its down to about 65 deg, people are putting on there hoodies and everything if it gets any lower we will need to get out our parkas and put on shoes and everything.

It's the new Hawaiian Glacial Field developing.

I hear they are shipping in penguins from the South Pole.

Or maybe that was Penguins summer camp for hockey players. I might have misread that article.

If you ask nicely, Burma will send you a few yeti to frolic in the ice and snow.
