Snow and/or sleet are predicted for later today; and the preparations for such an event in Central TX rivaled those for catastrophic blizzards! Or destructive tornadoes and hurricanes. Having lived in central Ohio for a year--all winter long--I'm no longer impressed with snow flurries. |

Did I tell you that as of Nov 28, '09, my name has changed to Loretta Pawlus-- 2009 has been an interesting year with quite a bit of traveling and a wedding. Merging households has been challenging, and we're still not finished with the reorganization. Anyone need a crockpot? We had 6 but have re-distributed 2. |

Fell during the night, and I didn't hear anything! Walked down to the mail box a few minutes ago and saw evidence of strong winds: a large pine tree (about 60' high) had broken, taking limbs from another even larger oak. Because of our extreme and prolonged drought in Central TX, many old trees have given up the ghost--and am I grateful when they fall within the forest rather onto my driveway(have experienced that calamity, which seldom occurs when one is not in a hurry!) Merry Christmas!

After a beautiful start, with bright sunshine, clear skies, and temps that reached about 60 degrees, the day changed as a cold front, accopmpanied with rain, blew in--literally. The rain in the gauge was frozen; that usually happens only when the temp falls to 30. Typical Central Texas day! |

I sometime feel sorry for the weatherman. Altho our area, about 35 miles southeast of Austin, was not forecast to receive the sleet and snow that moved from the north, about noon, sleet began to fall with the nice rain; within 30-45 minutes, snow started coming down! We were out and drove west toward Austin for an appt, and the flakes were larger and denser. The white stuff moved onward east, but some of the drifts in the woods and on our roofs have accumulated. You'll notice the snowfall report; I brought the gauge inside and allowed the snow in the funnel to melt into the gauge. First snowfall in 6 years-- |

This was one of the nicest surprises in a long time! Had no idea the rain was coming in (too occupied with Olympics) and have no idea when it fell last night.
Today is another lovely day.
Found the 3rd raccoon in our trap in as many days. They've made a large enough hole in the screened-in back porch door to get in and eat the cat's food--more than once. Our efforts to keep them out didn't deter their causing more damage, so we set out the trap. We took the first one to the state park just north of us; yesterday, because I needed to get back to church at 6 p.m., we set No. 2 free into the woods to the west very near the Colorado River. We'll keep trapping until they stop coming; however, we suspect there may be a colony of them in these dense woods (the Lost Pines of Central TX). Cute as buttons but so destructive! |

Celebration time! Yesterday, as we were walking thru the woods, I said it would be nice to have more rain. I've seen the first bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush, and many trees are leafing out. As I walked to the rain gauge, I heard birds seeming to be quarreling; and after considerable searching in the dense canopy, I spotted the culprit: a strong woodpecker was steadily tapping high above, and the other birds didn't like it. We have a flock of wild turkeys residing in our woods now. The raccoons have caused so much property damage in their efforts to get onto the screened-in back porch for our cat's food that we finally set a trap: three mornings in a row, we had a raccoon waiting for us. We live south of one of the most popular state parks in Texas; and a man friend who was the superintendent several years ago told me to take the culprits way into the woods within the park and release them. Last week, we visited with him and told him about our captures. He said the raccoons must be carried perhaps even farther away to prevent their return. I'd wished to be able to tag them but that is very dangerous, and I didn't have any bright spray paint. We'll continue to set the trap until we have no destructive visitors. |

The woods were full of fog for a few moments; then heavy rain fell until just recently. It is still overcast but much brighter. Wow! Is this a lovely surprise! Not a drop fell yesterday; in fact, it was another in a series of gorgeous late winter days in Central Texas. |

Celebration time! The lovely wet stuff began falling yesterday afternoon--stopped for a while--and then came roaring back early this a.m. Severe thunderstorms, which frighten my 8-yr-old Schnauzer, but was music to my ears! |

Awakened around 4 by severe thunderstorms; and in between fierce explosions, we heard the rain, so opened our bedroom door onto the screened-in back porch and enjoyed the concert. Waited for a lull in the heavy rain to read the gauge; the noise continues and dark clouds have moved in, dumping more of this precious moisture. More of the dead trees killed during the extended drought fell too. Isn't nature wonderful! |

The rains that fell on Central TX yesterday were not from Hurricane Alex; a front that stalled over the area unleashed torrents of rain west of this location, causing flooding even in south Austin (about 35 miles to the west). I'd spent most of the day soaking flower beds--it worked again! (My own "rain dance.") |

Returned from Alaska late Fri, 7/23, and still not completely unpacked. Thundershowers yesterday were welcome! Even though I'd checked the rain gauge on Sun and was pleased to see that 1.67" had fallen since 7/09, our forest needed more rain--a nice way to end July in Central TX! |

We benefited from a sudden and apparently violent storm less than 6 miles from here yesterday afternoon--after I'd been soaking flower beds all day. Our local meteorologist explained such rain shafts as occuring during intense heat (c. 105) when the temps above are as low. Very interesting, especially when he showed a photo taken by an alert citizen north of here where another localized storm damaged structures also. |

Tropical Storm Hermine moved in before 6 a.m.; since the rain gauge is 200-300 feet away from the house and the rain was falling hard, waited until this time to check--what a delightful surprise! We're told to expect rain throughout today and part of tomorrow. Because we're east of its track, it is doubtful that there will be any flash flooding as is expected in the Hill Country. |

We were in Austin--about 45 miles away from home--when heavy rains began to fall. Driving was not comfortable, but we eventually drove through this downpour as we returned to our home to the east. I'm glad they received their blessed rain but sorry that we didn't get more--however, every drop is appreciated. |
