We just had a rainstorm with a bit of thunder. We need the rain as I don't want to have to water the lawn any more this season.

Weinermr lives in a community that is well designed, fire-wise, but that doesn't mean they arent' affected.. and the smoke must be terrible.

Hot and muggy here too, Sea, it sprinkled for a couple minutes earlier this morning but not enough to do any good. Yesterday the sky was pretty clear most of the day. Today we're back to the thick smoke and ashes falling again. I have a couple pics I took a while ago that aren't the best:
There's a few clouds mixed in, but most of that is smoke and there's an orangish haze (not as dark as it was the other day) again. We've got family/friends in Littlerock who are under mandatory evacs, or were the last time I heard, and some who are on voluntary stand by evac orders. I've now heard they expect the Station fire to burn til somewhere around Sept. 15. I had to take my aunt to the eye dr today and that was pretty rough on her with her copd. I would have rescheduled her appt except that it takes months to get one so we didn't have much choice. Caleb, when I picked him up for his eye exam, told me that the school has cancelled all sports and outside pe for 3 weeks. I haven't heard anything from the girls softball coach yet, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they cancelled practices.

I am very thankful that Scoot sent us all that snow during the winter and all that rain during the summer. One thing I can say we will have a pretty fall. I will have to take some pictures in about a month or so and post them for all my west coast friends.

nice day again in Boston. I just hope that Scoot has her bags packed so when it starts snowing in a couple of months she can be on the first flight to Boston to help shovel

There has already been some light frost in northern Maine, a couple hours north of us. We are having the most perfect weather lately, warm sunny days and very cool nights. Everyone seems content, for a change.

It was 45 when I got up in Maine this morning. I think our high was 50. It is supposed to go down into the 30s tonight.

Hot and humid - Weather guy on the news tonight said September this year has averaged only 2 degrees colder than JULY of last year. I HATE IT!! If I could go to the beach and/or stay in AC, it'd be fine, but being stuck in a classroom all day (with extra chairs in only one class) is just making me growlly (how the heck do you spell growl but make it an adverb?).

Teach, I think the word you're looking for might be "grumpy"... there's a few other choices too, but we get modded for those

It would be a perfect fall day if we were up on Lake Huron - 50 degrees, very breezy and mostly sunny. For Indy, it's a bit chilly for this time of year.

All day today, LA had that feeling of impending rain. The gray skies we never have, the coolness in the air (only got to about 65), etc. Now they say we have to watch out for mudslides when the weather comes tomorrow. I hate LA in the rain.

We were down at Disneyland this weekend and the weather was great. We drove into Visalia to my sister's house yesterday and it was getting gray. Drove back home to the bay area today and it's very gray. It really feels like rain.

We need the rain so bad in So Ca, but it's gonna be nasty for mudslides after the fires. This weekend was beautiful. We spent most of Saturday (10:45 am - 4:30pm) outside at the park watching Kota's games and it was tshirt weather. Yesterday was pretty nice too until the sun went down. Today has been cold, windy, and dark clouds. We turned on the living room heater tonight, would have turned on the hall heater but we need to seal up the cooler, vacuum out the heater and light the pilot light (not to mention getting the gas company out to check it.) Very odd for us to turn one on in October, though.

It's pouring down rain here in the Bay Area! My power went out at some point last night, but it was back up when I got up about half an hour ago. Fortunately none of us had to wake up early this morning! I had planned to run some errands today, but fortunately, I can put them off to Thursday. They involved going over the bridge, and I really don't want to get on the freeway during the first rain of the season, especially since it's such a heavy rain. No one knows how to drive on the slick roads.

LOL, Merrysea, I hear you about that bridge! It is really raining over here in Walnut Creek. My little creek (officially known as Ditch #2) was pretty full this morning and they say it is going to be worse. At least the rain was coming down straight instead of sideways!

In Orange County (CA) we had the same impending sense of rain all day Monday. It rained overnight.. I'm told it was hard but I didn't hear it. Yesterday it was cloudy and sprinkling. I took a friend to a doctor appt and it rained while we were in the office.. car all wet. And it sprinkled off and on back at her place sitting on the porch with the dog, it was nice but then had to dash out to pick up a patient and take her to get radiation. But then the rain held off for that and taking her home, stopping off to get some apple pie at Lou's Barbegue (OMG.. they only had one slice in the pie safe thingy but then I saw two whole pies and they were warm out of the oven and I got three slices to go from one of those!) and even was able to fill up the gas tank and get home. Started raining in the evening and rained most of the night, too and still sprinkling now and sky is solid grey. Quite the contrast from our recent hot weather! Merry, I hear you about the first rains of the season! And your bridges! I was happy that none of my driving involved a freeway.. couple of not so big bridges along coast highway and over a couple of freeways, but no big deal there.

Washington DC - cold rain this afternoon. I'm not used to that. "Cold" and "rain". Wow!

parts of the Northeast got some snow today. Scoot better get her shoveling arm ready. It is going to be a long snowy winter.

ACK...Tell me about it. My snow scraper was still in the truck of my car. At least it is still too warm for it to stick...
