10/1/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Weather seems like a broken record here. Cool, less humid and breezy. Fires are going to start breaking out with the lack of moisture.

10/3/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cloudy but the sun is trying to come through. Got windy yesterday afternoon. Not much air moving now. Temps are cool. CoCo and I washed windows yesterday and got all the windows closed getting ready for the approaching cold front. I'll turn the heat on when I'm shivering under a quilt. No reason to waste that propane.
10/4/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 What a surprise to see some front is place in the lower end of the yard. Sunny, a little breeze and in the 30s. Covered up with a quilt on the sofa last night watching football - but I wasn't shivering. Have to admit my date was cold but I could not get the heat on. Have to clean around the pilots.
10/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A little frosty this morning. Sunny and a little air moving. Birds on the feeder. Came home yesterday and cleaned the pilots on my heat. Did turn it on but very low. 64 in my dining room this morning - I like it at 66 in the winter. Am enjoying the cooler weather. CoCo loves to run like a racehorse now because it's not too hot.
10/6/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 the sunrises of late have been lacking color - a sign of how dry it is - needs moisture for the ROYGBIV (spectrum) to dazzle us with Mother Nature's artsy talent. The sunset had a small ribbon of reds and oranges low on the horizon. A bit frosty, no air moving and a cloudless sky.
10/7/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 0Dark:30 and it's dry - so dry. No air moving and temps are warming. We're under a burn ban here in Allen County.
10/8/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 0Daark:30 and skies are starry. Not much air moving about. The dogs in the area are singing in the choir this morning. Temps are great!
10/9/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Blue skies and great temps! But so dry. Couldn't sleep and went outside at 3 am the constellations were brilliant and clear. Tried to name as many as I could remember from childhood - sorry to say I could only name a few. Saw some patchy fog in the little valley behind me. Orion, Cassiapia, Ursa major and Ursa Minor.
10/10/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 I guess today is repeat day of yesterday! Dry, not much air and clear skies!
10/11/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny with a few high clouds and contrails. A little air moving about and comfortable temps.
10/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 overcast and maybe a little rain later after weeks of oh so dry. Sun is out there and can be seen between the clouds. Temps are nice! Started teaching 3rd graders swimming. Have 60 kids in the pool at a time! I was pooped!
10/13/2010 6:30 AM 0.10 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Yesterday about 8:30A had some thunder and lightning. A little rain. The leaves started falling and cover the road. Had more leaves than rain. This morning it's overcast and mild.
10/14/2010 5:00 AM 0.06 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Not much in the gauge. Starry morning. Cooler temps and not much air moving. Time to open the pool!
10/15/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Beautiful skies but cool! In fact chilly! CoCo is much more active now that the temps are lower. She loves to play shoe tag with my old garden shoes. She grabs it and teases me to chase her. Still working on manners though. She's 8 months old and weighs 55 lbs. And still growing.
10/16/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Dry, cool and clear. The colors are beautiful. Had some moderate dew and looked a little frosty in the low place in the field. Grandkids Soccer time!
10/17/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The clouds are high and thin but look like chalk striations. Got hot watching 3 soccer games yesterday under clear blue skies. Lost 2, won 1. Youngest grandson scored twice and set up 3 shots. He's 6. After the game he said, " You know Grandma one of those was pretty hard to do...it was."
10/18/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A few high thin clouds, temps are very comfy and a little air is moving. There are many of us suffering from sinus and itchy eye issues here in Allen County. Really looking forward to some kind of weather shift. Woke up all stuffed up again.
10/19/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another beautiful day out. Need rain! But if it rains the grass will grow and the lawn mower man will come and I will have to pay him. Need rain!
10/20/2010 6:45 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Rained in town a little yesterday and in other parts of the county - just not here. Clouds in the eastern horizon and very comfortable temps.
10/21/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sat outside until sunset after work watching the woods behind me and playing with CoCo., taking with my friend on the deck. Today is starry and bright. A little cooler maybe and still very dry. I wonder what the construction is next to the woods, on the hill? Sunrise at 6:59 - miss those early sunrises.
10/22/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Patchy frost in the low place behind the house. Sunrise later still - 07:00. Moon is setting and is beautiful. Full moon tonight. Starry skies this morning and very clear. Cool and little air moving. Guess I better put a sweater on over my swim suit.
10/23/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Such a beautiful day to spend outside. Clear skies, warm sun! CoCo broke her collar and got loose while I was working yesterday. Saw her in the road with another dog 1/4 mile from home. Stopped the truck, opened the door and they both jumped in. It would have been nice to be a dog and have an adventure in that gorgeous weather.
10/24/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 What a rosy purple sunrise I watched through the kitchen window. Some high clouds, dry and a little breeze. I was so excited in the spring to put out a garden, deconstructing it is not exciting at all. Although being out was wonderful. CoCo loved running in the field and taunting me with her treasures. I'm afraid our warm days will be coming to an end soon so get out and enjoy!
10/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.83 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had a little thunder and lightning last evening and during the night. This rain and wind brought down a lot of leaves and may have ended nature's pallet of beauty. This morning there are puddles screaming for a little one's feet - hadn't had those in a while. Cloudy, breezy and comfortable.
10/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just a little drizzle left in the gauge. Was out early securing the deck and taking down all my hanging pots. Had a gust almost tip my large gas grill (moved it). Doubt if I'll have third grade swim lesson today. That high-profile school bus isn't safe and the storm is expected to hit here when it's time to get in the water. Hold on to your hat and have a ducky day!
10/27/2010 7:00 AM 1.06 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Beautiful sunrise and just a few sticks
10/28/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Not much to see at O Dark:30. Cool morning with frost and freeze warnings coming this week. Gotta start moving plants into the greenhouse.
10/29/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Have a freeze warning this morning and got the plants off the deck yesterday. After work gotta clear off the front porch - chance of a hard freeze. Very chilly this morning and clear.
10/30/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cooler weather always makes the sky so clear and air crisp - really great to be out. CoCo liked riding in the truck while I drove all the plants from the front porch to the greenhouse. Some of my pots are way too big to think about carrying and I have about 50 plants.
10/31/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Dry with incredible blue skies and a little air moving. Cool. Had pink contrails in the eastern horizon just before sunrise. Soccer was great yesterday - looked like we were under the Big Sky in Bowling Green near the airport. Won 3 out of four game. Humidity is just right in the greenhouse-didn't take long to get it there.
11/1/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A few thin clouds mixed with the blue. Great temps. Although the growing season will end in a few days with the predicted hard freeze, the drought conditions throughout September and October have ended much of anything growing here. Haven't mowed in 2 months, flower beds are all dead and the garden's been gone for quite a while. Mother Nature will just kill off a few of the surviving weeds.
11/2/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 High thin layer of clouds softens the brilliant blue, breezy sky, but not old Sol. Funny how the 93 million miles the light and warmth has to travel and it's still able to do its job. Just the slightest tilt on the earth's axis makes dramatic changes for humans, along with the earth's elliptical orbit. Coco is sunning in a curled up ball, napping.
11/3/2010 7:00 AM 0.04 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Soft gentle rain is actually very nice for this fall day. Had to feed CoCo in the playhouse and for once I got in front of the school buses (Yeah!) A little air is moving and it's a ducky fall day!
11/4/2010 5:00 AM 0.55 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A little nippy out! Starry, clear sky. Wonder how many early morning takers I'll have at the pool.
11/5/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Haven't seen any precip - hoping to see a flake or two. Feels like winter for south central Kentucky with the cool north wind and cloudy sky. I wonder how CoCo will like that first snow??? Stay warm all!
11/6/2010 7:00 AM 0.05 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 CoCo's water was frozen over. Skies are bright and clear and it's going to be a great cool day at the soccer fields. CoCo's here with me and wants the attention and my tennis shoe - go out and enjoy!
11/7/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 What happened to fall?!? I'm frosty and frozen! Wrapped up in a quilt and winter coat for soccer - it was nice before the clouds came between me and the sun. This morning has blue skies and a slight breeze and of course a bit of chill in the air. Wished my body clock would have given in and slept that extra hour this morning. Getting lots of this done before church - like cooking supper. Our area has been invade by bed bugs. Hope this little arctic blast helps to rid them or slow them down.
11/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Frosty, cool and breezy with clear blue skies. Hope you remembered the time change. Had a friend call before church and wondered why I wasn't on my way to church...he forgot! Callie the cat and CoCo are putting on the extra fur.
11/9/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 It's so great outside! Sorry this is late - but the new sink trap in the bathroom is now installed - keep your fingers crossed - it is not leaking!
11/10/2010 6:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Pink horizon, a bit of a few high thin clouds and a jet glistening in sun. Blue skies and a great day ahead. Reminds me of the late John Denver's song, Sunshine on my Shoulders makes me happy.

11/12/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Starry morning , a little breeze and chilly. MIss the early morning sunrise a bunch! Why do we have daylight savings time anyway? Body clocks take a long time to adjust.
11/13/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 High thin clouds and contrails in that brilliant blue sky. Another wonderful fall day - rain is coming. Hate to say I'm in my neglected house all day cleaning - well maybe I'll take a break and CoCo and I can have an adventure or clean up CoCo's junkyard.
11/14/2010 7:00 AM 0.13 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Gray skies at the horizon and spotty blue at the apex. A little breeze and I think comfortable temps. CoCo removed at her bedding and has attacked it in the junkyard. Looked out and she was vigorously shaking an old pillow.
11/15/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 M Been blanketed by fog! Zero visibility - can't even see CoCo. Cool temps and not much air moving. Had frost around midnight. Driving home at 12:30 a.m. saw a most incredible moon set, enlarged and orangy-red. Feels like rain with this much fog.
11/16/2010 7:00 AM 0.25 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 I love listening to the rain. Some of CoCo's digging have pooled. Chilly and a little air moving. Most of the leaves have come down from the oak trees. Have a ducky day!
11/17/2010 7:00 AM 1.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cool damp and cloudy. Whipping wind yesterday late afternoon as the front came in. CoCo was sitting in the playhouse window watching for me - jumped out the back window to help me read the rain gauge.
11/18/2010 5:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A little nippy out there with a cloudy sky. A little air moving. Woke up CoCo - she stretched that long stretch that we all do when we first start moving. Very happy to see me and her food.
11/19/2010 5:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cloudy and cool, just a bit of air moving. It's Friday! Last day of lessons in the pool for a week and I'm ready for a break!
11/20/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Looked out and laughed - CoCo destroyed her doggie bedding and it looked like snow! Not that funny when I have to go get the rake. Sun has been poking between the clouds this morning. Cool and a little breeze. Got some CoCo work and yard work to do today.
11/21/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Talk about a perfect fall day yesterday! Watched leaves fall, worked inside and outside; went to a cheese open house with the most delightful flavors way out in the country. This morning is a great weather day with lots of blue sky and fall temps. A little air. Couldn't ask for better. Carpe Diem! For the weather is changing this week!
11/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Partly cloudy, warm and breezy. Got to blow the leaves off the deck and porch before the rain comes. CoCo will help!
11/23/2010 7:00 AM 1.41 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Thunder woke me early, early this morning. surprised to see 1.41" in the gauge. Had momentarily stopped raining when I went to the gauge, but picked up again on my way into the office. Warm temps for November and not much air stirring.
11/24/2010 7:00 AM 0.03 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just the remnants of yesterday's morning rain. Cooler and overcast. Turkey's thawing, house is clean and CoCo might be starting to get some manners. She just jumped on my - scratch the previous. She's still all puppy (all 60 lbs).
11/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.28 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Partly sunny and windy! Warm temps, just waiting for the "stuff" to arrive. Family coming up and out. CoCo's first T-day - she'll have some scraps. I am very thankful for all of God's blessings. Happy a great Turkey Day.
11/26/2010 7:00 AM 1.22 T M M M Wintry mix after temps took a nose dive. Breezy and cold. Did the Midnight Sale at Walmart got there at 10 p.m. Did some other openings and practiced the Rules of Black Friday Acquisition. Had a good night and know I'm going to bed.
11/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Crisp, cold and breezy with a big blue sunny sky. Ready to go out and shop some more. Had a great T-Day with family and friends and found out my son-in-law can hang with the best of us shopping all night long! Still some dotted frozen precip left over.

12/2/2010 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 What a wicked wind! Cold temps and clearing. CoCo really wanted to play ball yesterday. Too cold to do it very long. Don't know the wind chill - but I sure hope it's not windy tomorrow night for the 4A High School Football State Championship Game at WKU. GO PATRIOTS! I have a ticket!
12/3/2010 5:00 AM T T M M M Had some snow flurries yesterday. Pretty to see - puts Christmas in the air. Love to swim when it snows. The Y has a wall of large windows and it looks like a snow globe. Clear skies and a moon sliver among the stars. A little breeze and cold.
12/4/2010 9:30 AM 0.21 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Got in early this morning from 4A State Football Tournament - AC-S was the runner-up. They played a great game. A friend called and woke me up. Cool, overcast and a little breeze.
12/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.01 T 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had a bit of frozen precip in the air during the late evening and night - just enough on the deck to look like the sugar plum fairy came by. Cold and breezy this morning overcast and feels like more snow. Had a grandson birthday date last night and he rode on the end of the cart and asked me to push it as fast as Santa's sleigh would go - what a wind chill!
12/6/2010 7:00 AM 0.01 T M M M Powdery dusting here and there. Left over dry leaves and bumpers held more though. Beautiful to watch coming down. My childrens church kids were distracted watching the snow out the window. So, we ran outside and caught snowflakes on our tongues - they had never done that. Crispy cold this morning - 50 degrees in the greenhouse and CoCo was a happy running pup. Started the 2 water bucket regiment - keep one in the house to thaw and one out to freeze :) Keep warm thoughts!
12/7/2010 7:00 AM T T M M M The barren backdrop of the woods was so beautiful to watch the clusters of snowflakes falling. Just a little air moving gave them a chance to dance before reaching the ground. Temps=BBBRRR and bundle up, don't think it is going to get above freezing today. PS: Caught one on my tongue!
12/8/2010 7:00 AM T T 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just a trace from the flurry yesterday - I only say a trace because I saw the snow. Lots of contrails this morning in the parting high thin clouds. A bit nippy at nearly 15° but just a little air moving. If the clouds depart the sun may give us a slightly warmer day - we might reach 32.

12/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.98 T 0.00 0.0 0.00 Windy and rainy yesterday with dropping temps. This morning brings a howling north wind. Early morning hours had freezing rain, sleet and a dusting of snow. It's sputtering a litle white stuff now. CoCo has never been on ice before. I laughed watching her slip and slide; but that did not deter her from her morning running. She'd get up and go again. The wind chill is painfully cold. Reminds me of when I lived in the Chicago area. Big BBBRRR!
12/13/2010 7:00 AM 0.08 4.0 0.22 0.0 0.00 Harsh wind and snow along with arctic temps for the past 24 hours. Sub-zero wind chill. No snow where I usually measure because of the crazy WNW wind. Dressed in several layers to go out. CoCo is loving it. Spitting a few flakes, still a wicked wind and cold enough to remind me of my Chicago winters. Going back out to feed the birds and get Ol' Blue started up (my 15-year-old Olds instead of my lightweight truck). Stay warm and roast some chestnuts!
12/14/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 0.15 Bitterly,cold, dry air; blue sky and not much air moving.Beautiful night sky - could see tons of stars. Power went out during the night. CoCo had fun this morning making Snow Dogs :)

12/16/2010 5:00 AM 0.39 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had some glaze about 20:00. Power blinked at 02:45 and woke me up. Looked out and saw the dame about of glaze. Presently it is raining and windy. It was nice to miss the bullet. Most snow has melted except in the drifted areas and shoveled piles. Wonder how many are coming to the pool this morning?
12/17/2010 5:00 AM 0.19 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 left over precip from yesterday's event - frozen in the tube. Overcast, cold and not much air moving.

12/19/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Everything is sparkling this morning - very frosty and cold. Christmas play today at church, can't wait, had to cancel last Sunday because of weather. Canceled caroling last Wednesday because of weather. Don't want a White Christmas - my son works for the state road department and he'd have to plow and not be with his family.
12/20/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Breezy, cool, and partly sunny. Almost finished with Christmas shopping - just one more to go! Then I'll be having what I call the "Great American Wrap Out" on Wednesday.
12/21/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast and warmer, a little air moving. Sad to have missed the once in a lifetime lunar eclipse. But I did see Haley's Comet - silver streak in the middle of the night.
12/22/2010 7:00 AM 0.03 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had fog last night nearly as thick as Santa's beard. This morning is overcast and everything is still wet from yesterday's drizzle.

Traveled home from boyfriends at 21:15, 3 cars in ditch, jack knifed semi on river bridge at Hwy. 98, got around it with a lot of prayers, fellas helping to get one out of a ditch physically pushed me up the hill. Dicey drive home, but made it safely. Hope you have a wonderful Merry Christmas!!! PS Received my beautiful CoCoRaHS calendar in the mail yesterday!
12/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.02 0.5 0.04 3.5 0.34 Windy, cold, overcast and a bit flaky. CoCo's running through the snow, birds are feasting at the feeders and we canceled worship services today because of weather and road conditions. Son got called out to salt roads just as we sat down to eat our Christmas meal. We both ate quickly and headed out. Travel was not as dicey as the day before but slick - passed more cars in the ditches and a wreck on the 231 twin bridges, Glad to get home safely, again. CoCo and I are going to have a play day! Just love that new calendar!!!
12/27/2010 7:00 AM T T 0.00 2.5 0.24 Partly cloudy, cold and windy. Icicles hanging from the back of the house and greenhouse. CoCo loves running this snow. Stayed in yesterday and vegetated. Today I wish I hadn't - I'm stiff! Had different flurries move through yesterday

1/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.40 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast, a little drizzle. Grass is flushed toward the northeast. So is CoCo's junk. Wind was blustery yesterday - not so this morning. The warmth is so nice. Had cut the heat off in the greenhouse for the past two days. Mother Nature has more winter delights for us though. Have a happy, safe, blessed new year!!! On a whimsical note: Go write the date 1-1-11 won't get to do that again for 100 years.
1/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.31 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Watched the sunrise this morning - beautiful. It glistened the frosty areas. A light breeze, cold and crisp - what a change from balmy. A great day to serve the Lord!

1/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Blue sky with a few high thin clouds. A little warmer today. A little breeze, too. Birds are camped out near empty feeders waiting for me to refill. CoCo got the Christmas ham bone yesterday and I think she was smiling. Swam a half mile while the swim team practiced - crowded pool - but it felt good. I love swimming in the winter and watch the weather through the wall of windows - especially when it snows.
1/5/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had a thin red sunrise through striated clouds. A bit chilly but not too bad for here. No moisture but it looks and feels like snow - now that's an unofficial weather prediction.
1/6/2011 5:00 AM T T T 0.0 0.00 Starry morning, cold. Had a spit of snow - deck just looks frosty. Had a the occasional flake during the day yesterday. Gotta open the pool and hope for some members with some resolutions - I'll be swimming tonight.

1/9/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny morning with a huge red sun at the horizon, really lighting up my foyer through the kitchen windows. Pretty cold for here - single digit of 8 my friend called me about early. Calm air and a couple high thin clouds. Snow's a coming - got the car ready!
1/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 0.4 0.03 M M Light snow fall, overcast, light breeze and cold. CoCo has chased all the birds from the feeder. No school today. Snow is dry and powdery. CoCo's galloping had caused some comical falling. Funny to watch four paws go in different directions and her trying to recover.
1/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 0.3 0.03 0.0 0.00 Gauge had a slight layer of glaze. Must be close to freezing, the snow that is falling is fine but very wet. Yesterday's snow's remnants was spotty. Most roads were clear, except for some of the secondary - I did make 4 attempts before getting into my friend's driveway - kept sliding past. CoCo loves this running and routing. No school today.
1/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 0.5 0.01 1.0 0.03 Brisk NW wind, temps in the teens, light to moderate snowfall - I moved from Chicago to get away from winter in 1980 - I didn't go far enough south. Snow is dry and blowing.

1/14/2011 5:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Flurries yesterday but also some sun. This morning BBBRRR and some frozen water in the bathroom. Most snow melted with the sun yesterday but still have some icy roads - no school again today
1/15/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast, breezy and a bit warmer. Patchy snow is still around the places where the sun doesn't shine. A Saturday all to myself - what shall I do???
1/16/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Yesterday was such a treat with the warmth. Not so much warmth this morning, a bit of a fog or haze, overcast and a breeze. Every place I had been yesterday was clear, except one, a road through the woods was very icy and still had snow.
1/17/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast, misty and a bit cold. Glad it's not snow. Drizzle and rain today - cn help wash away some of the salt.

1/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.28 T T M M A wee bit of few flakes about. A little breeze and everything is wet, but not frozen. Overcast of course. Don't forget to run to the grocery for the obligatory milk and bread.
1/20/2011 5:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The tail end of yesterday's precip was not much at all. Overcast, in the upper 20s and a little air moving. CoCo and I had a spree last night outside. I watched as things began to frost over. Kinds of neat to watch it form. CoCo just chased rabbits.
1/21/2011 5:00 AM 0.16 1.5 0.18 0.0 0.00 Work closed early as the snow stuck to Main Street. Then the temps really dropped and the wind picked up. Did some sliding coming home. This morning has 1.5 inches and cold and breezy.
1/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.0 M Bright blue skies and cold. Sun is helping clear the roads. The moonlight on the snow is incredibly bright. Wonder if that's what it is like in Alaska. Last two nights CoCo and I have played in the moonlight. Lost my cat Kity Kity Callie yesterday had her from birth for 10 years.
1/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 1.0 M Beautiful cold sunshine this morning and a little breeze. Still snow on the ground - but getting patchy.

1/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Misty fog, overcast, warm enough for a spring day. But alas - snow again in the forecast. Glad I don't live in the real snowy areas of the country.
1/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.63 1.7 0.22 0.0 0.00 This heavy wet snow has made a most beautiful winter wonderland. Schools are closed. The sky is white and visibility low. Drove in to the paper on slick slush that was compounding by the minute. Traffic volumes were very low and slow. But CoCo's face looked like a child's covered in ice cream - I really think she was smiling.
1/27/2011 5:00 AM 0.07 0.2 0.07 2.0 M My frosty gauge had just a bit of yesterday's snow. Had more snow in town than in NE Allen County. Cold and crunchy walking. The two cars I heard went by at a pretty good clip. Clear bright sky and a hungry CoCo.
1/28/2011 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Almost all the snow is gone - warmer temps are nice. A few clouds here and there but not enough to blot out the moon and whatever planet is shinning. Yesterday was electrification day in the greenhouse. Can't wait to plant those seeds!!! Spring is almost here - Bite me Groundhog!
1/29/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunshine is warming my kitchen - what a nice winter treat. Temps are normal for this time of January for a change. A little breeze and blue skies will make a perfect greenhouse day for me and CoCo.

CoCo had a huge day running around the neighbor dogs and actually sought out shade. Greenhouse got up to 100 degrees - opened up the door and vents - but it's January.
1/31/2011 7:00 AM 0.09 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Listened to the cool rain and look at the radar and was surprised to only find 0.09 in the gauge. A little air moving. Wow - so glad I'm not living in Chicago anymore. Back in the '60s when I was in high school we had 26 inches of snow and we were paralyzed. Our ranch style house was totally buried by a drift.
2/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.28 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast and a bit still. It is so warm for January. I'm waiting for the storm. Heard on the news that winter storm I remembered was 1967. CoCo is even panting. Weather is an interesting science - it's always changing.
2/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.79 M M M M A little flurry, clouds breaking up, snow in the little nooks and crannies, windy windy, wind chill is not nice. Precip half frozen in gauge. BBBRRR! CoCo is out there doing what a dog does best, bouncing and playing.
2/3/2011 5:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cold, wicked wind chill again. Overcast. Had flurries with no accumulation yesterday. Talked to my sisters in OK City and outside Chicago - they are fine just lots of snow and groceries. So glad I moved from Chicagoland in the 80s. Have gotten spoiled by the mild winters hear in southern Kentucky (SOKY). So, I can honestly say I'm tired of winter and it ain't over yet.
2/4/2011 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast, a little wind and cold. Waiting for more snow later today. Hopefully it's late enough in the day to do second grade swim orientation and the kids don't miss any school. Greenhouse season begins in a couple of days.
2/5/2011 7:00 AM 0.15 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Windy and drizzle blowing. I've decided this winter you never know what kind of weather you're going to have until you get up and look outside.
2/6/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunshine is lighting up my house - looks so inviting. Temps are warming. Saw a wintry mix yesterday. A little freezing rain, sleet and a flurry or two. Nothing that mattered, just Ol' Man Winter reminding us he's still around. Got seeds yesterday - will be sowing tomorrow morning before work broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage. Can't wait!
2/7/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 My internet was down. Overcast in the upper 30s, looks like winter clouds. Just a bit of air moving. As I came to work it started sprinkling.

2/10/2011 5:00 AM 0.20 3.2 0.17 0.5 M Skies are beautifully clear - full of constellations and the morning star. Snow is powdery and dry and crunchy. Temps in the teens and boy can you feel the wind chills. Can't wait to try the drive to the Y pool. Definitely going the long way in the Oldsmobile. My little truck just won't go in this. Have a safe and frosty day.
2/11/2011 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 3.0 0.00 Clear skies - frigid single digit temps. water frozen in the bathroom - got the hair dryer running - hot thawed, just waiting on the cold. Glad to see a warming trend. Sun did do some melting yesterday, but side roads are still snow packed. Had happy birds at the feeders - their brilliant colors were really enhanced against the snow.
2/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.5 M The Great Pre Spring Melt and Warm Up begins!!! Yesterday the county Mesonet low temp was 3.5 degrees. Today it's much warmer and the sun is doing its job of warming the earth even more since the jet stream headed north. Today I sow seeds in the greenhouse - what a wonderful sunny, blue-sky morning!
2/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Windy from the SW, sunny with thin clouds on the SW horizon. Most snow is gone, just the nooks, crannies and heavily shaded areas. Ground is soupy. Greenhouse had cold crops and some tomato seed in the dirt! Rack On Spring, Rack On!

CoCo is full of herself with this warm spell - just waiting for the cooling off tonight. Birds are very active and are hanging out on the deck waiting for a chance at the feeders.
2/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.30 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast, cooler than yesterday and breezy. Can't tell how the birds are because CoCo is on the run chasing everything in sight. I have three tomato seedlings! I can almost taste that luscious, red, juiciness. I think I'm just going to eat it on the vine.
2/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 As I looked at the bright sunshine and blue sky - I slipped on the frost on the deck. Cold morning but pretty. More seedlings are emerging. Birds are very active and so is my CoCo

Even CoCo wants to stay in her dog house - came out long enough for me to put a dish of food inside. Won't see many at the pool this morning - have a ducky day!
2/25/2011 5:20 AM 2.03 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Very windy this morning with some blowing drizzle. And the temps are cool. Have to go find CoCo's water bucket in the light - always have a spare. Storm total is 2.55". Have no idea if there is any wind damage - too dark. Let's see how many takers there are for the pool.
2/26/2011 10:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 sorry this is so late, I woke up after the cold medicine wore off. Partly sunny, warming and I'm moving to the couch.

2/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.58 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Been pretty active here. Wind, gusts, thunder, lightning, light to heavy rain. Severe thunderstorm warning - tornado warning in neighboring Barren County (I live 5 miles from there). My cell tower has a lightning arrestor and that's earth shaking when it's hit. Under a tornado watch now and probably throughout the day.
3/1/2011 7:00 AM 1.40 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 There's sunshine - and a lake in the field behind me...at least I don't have a bunch of animals, one male and one female and an ark. Coolish but welcome to see no rain.Ground is really saturated. Traveling to work yesterday morning there was ponding, water running over the road from creeks running high and storm drains not running fast enough. Just want to see sunshine and warmth, please.

Tons of yards work a head of me and swim lesson season is in full swing - not much time and mot much energy. CoCo had a huge run yesterday and looked like the young dog that she is running with such speed and grace.
3/4/2011 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Windy and overcast - temps in the 50s. Ground has been drying nicely - more rain tomorrow. Got some much needed raking of the front yard in after work but alas, ran out of me and daylight. Another great running day for CoCo, the great mole hunter.
3/5/2011 7:00 AM 0.09 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Windy, in the 50s, not raining at this time. Grass is really greening up (gotta pick up CoCo's dragging around things), Iris, Day Lilies and garlic are all up. Daffodils in full bloom and Forsythia is budding. Scary because we haven't seen the last of Ol' Man Winter.
3/6/2011 7:00 AM 1.74 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 It's down right chilly out there - a strong disappointment compared to the temps baiting us for spring. Overcast and breezy.
3/7/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had a smattering on the windshield briefly when I left for church yesterday. Breezy, chilly enough to have a wind chill I think. It's in the 30s and I had to turn the heat on in the greenhouse last night. Overcast and dreary looking - but on the bright side I start new rounds of swim lessons tonight -can't wait.
3/8/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Overcast and breezy in the low 40s - just waiting for the next rain. The flora is greening up and growing so fast. My last day to drink Diet Coke - giving it up for lent - maybe an overdose is in order.
3/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.87 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Breezy-windy, ground squishes when you walk - lot of water sitting on top of the ground. Just a bare drizzle. The creeks I drive by on the way to work were running fast and muddy but still not over the banks (yet). Have a ducky day!
3/10/2011 5:15 AM 0.09 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Chilly and breezy, overcast. Watched the radar - got more rain coming in a little while. Seedlings are coming along nicely - have some tomatoes with additional leaves. Going to the pool!

3/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Clouds (thick and thin) are diffusing my much enjoyed sunshine - but Sol keeps popping through an occasional opening. Warm and springish feeling. Yesterday's wind was a battle raking the front yard. But task is finished and I can move on to something less distasteful. As I sat and watched the winter debris burn in the glooming of the day, I heard night noises coming to life, crickets, katydids and more.
3/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.15 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Chilly and overcast, breezy but not raining. Wished I hadn't run out to check the gauge barefoot.

3/16/2011 7:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cloudy and warmer than yesterday. Not much air stirring. Can hardly wait for the sunshine later today. CoCo ran loose all day yesterday (didn't come when I called and I had to go to work). She greeted me at the garage just like it was her daily routine. Then I started finding her mischief - glad I only have one dog.
3/17/2011 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Starry morning - can't wait for the early sunrises. I looked at all my trees and buds are swelling. Forsythia is blooming. I mowed the yard for the first time - not the fields after work yesterday - felt good to be in the sunshine and have that much prayer time. CoCo had lots of adventure time, but walked near me while I was on the mower. Going to be another beautiful day. - Come join me poolside.
3/18/2011 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Late evening it was windy and gusty. This morning a few clouds, but can still see an occasional star. Breeze and temps are comfortable. Got home from work at 20:30 - wish I had been out in the sunshine.
3/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had that little sprinkle that looked like a wash out but skies are clearing and it's going to be a great soccer day and yard work day. Have you been enjoying the moon? Incredibly bright. Thursday morning I watched the orangy-red ball (nearly full) set on my way to work at 05:20. So beautiful - what a treat! I was cloudy last night - hope to see more moonshine tonight. Me and CoCo McGee!
3/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Partly sunny and a bit cool. A little breeze. Yesterday was wonderful. Contrails, windy and sunny - needed a jacket for soccer but so much Vitamin D in the air. CoCo had a huge adventure - she didn't come home until after dark - I was concerned - but she was so happy to see me and she smelled like the wind.
3/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny, breezy and warming. Have really enjoyed the Super Moon as the news media has been calling it. Took potting supplies to the grandkids and they have 12 cups of seeds planted. Youngest grandson got up early the next morning to see if his had sprouted. Love the discovery and excitement. Soak up some rays today!

3/24/2011 5:00 AM 0.25 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Starry morning and the wind has died down. Cooler temps. Yesterday's storm brought very limited straight line winds and pea-sized and smaller hail (not much on the ground). Earlier intermittent rain had brief big heavy drops. Low temps expected for tonight - gotta turn the heat on in the greenhouse for my seedlings.
3/25/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 BBBRRR!!! What happened to those temps? Close to freezing. Cloudy and cold. Didn't put my coat up yet. Got the heat on in the greenhouse.

3/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.38 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Windy and cold, overcast - wintry looking and feeling. But the flock of purple martins is ravenous. Looking forward to them nesting in the gourd houses like last year. I even have some red finch, along with lots of familiar faces. Bathroom looks like it's going in the right direction - loved watching the rain through the window as I worked.
3/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.16 T T 0.0 0.00 Snow! and rain early. Overcast, breezy and cold. Snow on the deck has turned to slush and soon will be a memory for late March. Birds are at the feeders and CoCo, well CoCo is in the dog house literally and figuratively - she got out my new shower rod and paint brush - she's still a little puppified. Off to paint.
3/29/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunshine with a few clouds about. Airy and cool. Everything is really greening up. Jeff mowed the whole yard yesterday - looks better without the onion grass. Lots of feeder activity. Second greenhouse tomato crop is emerging. But the garden is still sleeping - too much rain.
3/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.85 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Cool, spring rain. Birds were on empty feeders - but they are filled now. CoCo was in her doghouse and wouldn't be nice the crawl back under the covers and listen to the rain.
3/31/2011 4:45 AM 0.04 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Just some sprinkles left from yesterday. This morning is overcast and chilly. Already tired of these below average temps. I put out the welcome mat for Mother Nature a few weeks ago.
4/1/2011 4:45 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 sorry this is late the internet was down at my house.
4/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M contrails and a few clouds, a reddish sunrise, but it is going to be a sunny and warmer day. I'm getting my new kitten today - no name yet.

4/4/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 So windy - not with wind speed - it's been windy for 36 hours non stop. Wind howled all night. A bit of precip in the wind WSW. Air is warm and juicy - watching for some weather events today. Tornado watch out for western Kentucky - not here - but I suspect it will come later.
4/5/2011 7:00 AM 1.63 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Windy, rain, thunder, lightning - trees down, property damage - saw all this driving home from work at 6 p.m. Had reports of straightline winds on the scanner. Luckily the homestead had just a few branches down. This morning sunny and cooler with a little breeze.
4/6/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny and a few clouds, coolish and windy - I am tired of the wind and more windy days ahead.
4/7/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Starry morning, coolish and breezy - my new kitten is all black - what to name her?
4/8/2011 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Breezy overcast and very comfortable to me. Shadow is the kittens name. Shadow and CoCo were just introduced. Shadow was a bottle brush and CoCo was a licker.
4/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sun and clouds, warm to me and a little breeze. A Beautiful morning! Have a class all day - wish I was going to be outside!
4/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Blue skies with a little haze, sun and a breeze and warm. Yesterday was hot in the third week of spring. I was sweaty working on the bathroom - almost finished. Shadow is wanting to play with me all night - not a good thing - gotta pen her up. CoCo still too rough for Miss Itty Bitty Kitty.
4/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Breezy to Windy from SW, humid, partly sunny (my glass is always half full). Bathroom repairs are near completion - baseboard, touch-ups and the electrician.
4/12/2011 7:00 AM 2.77 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Windy, chilly, cloudy, a bit of drizzle, field behind me is flooded. I wonder if someone told the new owners of that field that it floods - they planted a blueberry farm and lots of fruit trees. Small tree debris is around. Ground is surely saturated - it squishes when I walk on it.
4/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Sunny with a few clouds, grass is really wet - so was CoCo from running in it. Field behind me is draining. Creeks were running swift, high and muddy yesterday and the creek parallel to my road was running across the road yesterday. Enjoy the sunshine to day!
4/14/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Starry morning, coolish and nice. Went for a walk in the woods yesterday under a beautiful blue sky. I didn't find any mushrooms (false morel) but my friend gave me a few for the frying pan - oh so good!
4/15/2011 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Starry, in the upper 50s, breezy. Grass was very wet yesterday morning - this morning it's dry - something's brewing!
4/16/2011 7:00 AM 1.07 M M M M Cool, windy, cloudy, looks like rain again, more small tree debris - but nothing like the mess CoCo and her boxer friend made. Reminds me of the kids on Second Hand Lions - "Let's tear it up!" Took me 45 minutes to clean it up. Shadow is just being a frisky kitty.
4/17/2011 7:00 AM 0.02 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Yesterday was windy, wet and cold. Stayed in and cleaned house from top to bottom. This morning I've got blue skies and sunshine and it's warming up. Off to church and then grandkids!
4/18/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overcast, calm air, very comfortable temps and one crazy dog and her friends - very frisky and active this morning. Even the kitten. Maybe I should be frisky, too.
4/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Windy, overcast, warm and juicy - something wicked this way comes!
4/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.47 M M M M Roaring wind, rain and tornado warning at 2 a.m. Severe thunderstorm warning, too. Didn't see any damage in my area - it was a long night. Roaring wind woke me up and an escaped kitten.
4/21/2011 4:30 AM T M M M M Had a little drizzle yesterday. Cool, cloudy and a little air moving. Shadow is very active this morning and CoCo is pretty jealous of her. She tries to play with her but CoCo weighs 65 pounds and Shadow fits in a coffee cup - perhaps a few more weeks.
4/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Overcast, calm air, warming and sprinkling. Good day to have off. Birds are very noisy and active. CoCo gave Shadow a bath with 3 licks - I think CoCo's tongue is as big as all of Shadow. Remember the Passion of Jesus today.
4/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.54 M M M M Overcast, windy, comfy temps. Last night was windy, rain, tornado watch, lost power during the night. Air is juicy this morning - more storms? Last evening no dew.
4/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Not much air moving, sun is breaking through cloud dispersed blue sky. Rain and thunder during the night. Dark forbidding clouds to the NW as a squall line approaches - look like some lightning is to be expected - the calm before the storm - just heard the thunder. Behold, the miracle of Easter - He has risen!
4/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.40 M M M M Nearly all blue this morning just a few high clouds, very wet flora everywhere. Mild/comfy temps, just a bit of air moving. Expecting storms later. Had an indoor egg hunt at church and then squeezed the family egg hunt in outside between storms - lot of happy kids.
4/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.33 M M M M What a yucky night - I hope I get some OJ energy. This morning it's windy, raining and warm temps. Had a few things blown around. House, garage and greenhouse are plastered with tree debris. Don't see any trees down around me. Strong, sustained wind at 2:30 this morning with debris in the air - oddly enough when I went out on the porch to check the weather there was no rain - the wind direction would have had it blowing onto the porch. All my motion sensor lights got a real work out. Stay tuned to the weather and be prepared. Have a ducky day!
4/27/2011 7:00 AM 1.60 M M M M Ponding, pooling and puddling everywhere, roads, creeks and the ground. 0.37 was from yesterday morning, 1.23 is from the storm last night and this morning - had flash flood watch, severe thunderstorm watch and warning, tornado watch. At this time rain, wind and warm temps. Wore my gray slicker today - have a ducky day!
4/28/2011 5:00 AM 0.86 M M M M Yesterday's weather was dicey - but ok for Allen County. This morning partly cloudy, a sliver of moon, God's thumbnail, kind of cool and a little air is moving. This morning my itty bitty kitty Shadow had a mouse, Good Shadow. My prayers are with those families who lost loved ones in the storms and so much property damage and loss.
4/29/2011 4:45 AM 0.18 0.0 M M M More rain? A sliver of moon again. Coolish - had the electric blanket on last night because I turned the heat off in the house. Such beautiful blue sky yesterday with large puffy clouds later in the day.
4/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A blue sky a so beautiful! Grass was really wet last night. Cool morning but it's going to get warmer. Gotta work today - but it's getting the outdoor pool at the Y ready - I will be outside! I will miss the soccer games.
5/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.41 M M M M Coolish steady to moderate rain - again! Not much air moving right now. Occasional lightning and thunder. Grass needs mowing, garden needs tilling. Have a couple of song birds on the front porch. Fed CoCo breakfast in bed, apparently she didn't want to eat in the rain - do blame her much.
5/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.35 M M M M Overcast, not much air stirring, starting to drizzle. More rain expected for today and tomorrow - still need to turn the garden and mow. It has rained everyday I have had off. CoCo love playing in the rain and Shadow is trying to stomp on the keyboard to get my moving fingers. Stay dry and have a ducky day!
5/3/2011 7:00 AM 2.06 M M M M Field behind me is flooded. Overcast and rain. A little air stirring. My driveway is covered in earthworms - what a loss to the ground, which is super saturated. Temps are cooler.
5/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.45 M M M M No rain! Blue sky, in the upper 30s - what happened to spring?
5/5/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It's cold - frosty advisory. Clear and not much air moving. Glad my garden isn't out after all. Gotta did out that jacket.
5/6/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cloudy, feels like rain, warmer than yesterday morning. Saw patchy fog and frost on the way to work. A couple of folks complained about having to scrape their windshields.
5/7/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Not much precip to report. Sunny this morning and lots of dew. (Shadow is waiting to pounce on my fingers as I type). Temps are comfortable. Good thing, CoCo has made a trashy mess in the yard. Vacation is coming next month - can hardly wait! Shadow got me!
5/8/2011 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Had a 1 minute sprinkler yesterday, just enough for T. Blue sky, great temps and a beautiful Mother's Day. Spent the day outside yesterday.It was great. My back is tender this morning - still lots of work to do. Happy Mother's day to all the moms, especially my daughter and daughter-in-law - two of the best moms around!
5/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hello blue sky! In the 60s. Not much air moving and there is dew. We've gone from what happened to spring (Blackberry winter) to hello summer - upper 80s today. But, my friends came over and helped me get the garden tilled and finish up my last raise herb garden box. I'm ready to sow some seeds this morning. Plants have to wait until the straw comes. CoCo invited some friends over to romp in the freshly tilled soil - not for long, did hooting and hollering and arm flailing to suggest they wrestle somewhere else.
5/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Kinda got out enjoying the day when I realized I need to do this. Blue sky, not much dew, not much air stirring and warm. Lots of gardening things to do. Gold finches and purple martins are very active. So are Shadow and CoCo.
5/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Partly sunny, a little breeze and warm. I really don't care to say partly cloudy - my glass is always half full.
5/12/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warm, humid morning. Got lots of garden work done in the evening - too hot and humid in the afternoon.
5/13/2011 4:45 AM 0.88 M M M M Had thunder, lightning and some heavy rain yesterday evening - lost my satellite feed a couple of times. This morning everything is wet and the sun has not mde it to the horizon yet. Temps are comfy.
5/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.15 M M M M Thought there would be more in the gauge - don't know why, just did. Cloudy, cooler and humid. Had thunder and lightning yesterday. Garden is growing - got most of it planted in time for the rain. Have a couple hundred flies in the house - so weird. Been eliminating them as fast as I can - never had this happen before. I know it's weather related.
5/15/2011 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Overcast, cool and almost feels like fall - but the greenery says spring. Rained early this morning. Things are starting to pop in the garden. When I've worked in the garden lately, I've had a nesting Mocking Bird giving me what for. I keep an eye on her - a friend of mine has been dive-bombed 3 times for territorial violations.
5/16/2011 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Misty sprinkles, cool and a little air moving. everything is wet. Gray skies-looks and feels like March. Had the electric blanket on last night. Just not turning the heat back on.
5/17/2011 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Overcast and cool, condensation on some of the house windows. We might see some sun later - I hope!
5/18/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M Misty, foggy, wet, drizzly - don't know what to call this precip exactly - but it's wet and cloudy and I surely do miss the warmth of the sunshine. Makes me think of the old John Denver song Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy!
5/19/2011 4:45 AM 0.02 M M M M Had more mist and drizzle at home than I thought. Have a thin light pink horizon - there's some moisture in the air. A few clouds - the moon is trying to shine through and Shadow tried to escape the confines of the house again - love chasing the kitty this early in the morning - off the the Y pool~---
5/20/2011 4:45 AM T M M M M Was outside working last evening when it sprinkled on me 3 or 4 times - not enough for me to quit. Warming temps and a great day a head with a shot of Vitamin D in the forecast. Go out and feel some rays!
5/21/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M This morning is warm, humid, partly sunny and breezy. Tons of work to do outdoors - volunteers are welcome - maybe a rack of ribs on the grill later.
5/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Comfy temps, overcast and a little breeze.Had a quick little thunder storm come through yesterday late afternoon / early evening. CoCo ran while I worked outside off and on. A little garden, a little flower beds and then all the plant on the front porch. Too breezy to mulch the garden with newspaper and straw.
5/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.56 M M M M Windy, overcast and wet. Line of thunderstorms came through after 3 a.m. - not sure when because I didn't have my glasses on and couldn't find them, wasn't awake enough. Lots of wind, though. I've got pots to pick up. My prayers are with everyone who suffered the massive tornado outbreak - especially in Joplin.
5/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.48 M M M M Just touched by the edge of the severe thunderstorm that moved through a little while ago - still had lightning and some moderate rain. Right now I'm looking at some blue skies to the west with a few high thin clouds. Under a severe thunderstorm watch until 1 pm CDT. Drove back through a lightning and rain storm from Sumner County TN last night around 8 pm - granddaughter just got her next belt in karate - wonderful ceremony for the kids. Bek is really good, too! The blackbelts gave demonstrations - I was impressed. It's great to hear how many have been rescued in Joplin. My co-worker Michelle has family there and hasn't heard anything. My prayers are with them all.
5/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.24 M M M M Juicy air and blue sunny skies. A little air moving. Finally talked to my sister in OK City - tornado hit a mile from her. She and all her family were safe. No word from my brother in Edmond OK. Keep your eye on the sky.
5/26/2011 4:45 AM 0.97 M M M M Striated clouds at the eastern horizon. Quarter moon look a little fuzzy. Otherwise sky looks pretty clear. Have a few things blown around this morning, and I'm thankful for that. Haven't heard from my brother and his wife in Edmond OK.
5/27/2011 4:45 AM 0.21 M M M M Finally a day without storms. It's chilly but I had the window open and the covers pulled up. A few clouds but it looks to be a beautiful day. Just a bit of air moving. Maybe I'll have some takers at the pool this morning. Outdoor pool opens tomorrow just in time for the heat.
5/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Ah! Sunshine! Go out and get a shot of Vitamin D!
5/29/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another great, but warm day, in store, beautiful sky and a little breeze - summer is creeping in - got a potluck at church and a cook out later. More vitamin D - oh yeah!
5/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Blue sky and pretty warm, will be hot later, but there is a breeze. Not often I have a day off on Monday, have lots of projects for the day - first off to make some tea.
5/31/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Got busy in the house and forgot about coming back to the computer. Yesterday was hot! Tried to work outside some but I got dizzy and nauseous - too hot and not enough fluids. So I worked on and off Today's going to be the same but I'll be in the office in the aircon. We humans are spoiled. Blue sky, bright sun but not enough breezy-breeze. Stay cool!
6/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Feels like July 1 instead of June 1 - there's even a haze, not much breeze and no aircon.
6/2/2011 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M clear and calm - going to be hot again - can't work outside until very late in the day. Stay Cool! Going to the pool to work.
6/3/2011 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clear and calm sky, still a few visible stars. Worked in the garden after 7 p.m. and still sweat a lot. I'm a hot natured person. Pool time - come to the Y and see me!
6/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A cloud cover soon to be burned off I'm sure. There's a heat haze - gonna be a hot one at the pool today - outdoor pool water is warm and ready. Air is calm and warm. It's Splash Bash today and I'm supervisor - it's gonna be a great day!
6/5/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It's hot already and that heat haze is heavier. Clear skies and calm air. Yesterday was a hot, hot one - but I cooled off when I missed the step and fell in the pool - not too cool for the supervisor. Free food and games - come to the Y Splash Bash!
6/6/2011 7:00 AM 0.66 M M M M Foggy, warm and wet grass. Lots of wind with the storm that blew through around 1 p.m. Lots of lightning. We scrambled to get the pool open by 1 p.m. and then scrambled to close the pool at 1:03 p.m. when the lightning started. Storm was over at 2:15 - but we wait 30 minutes after the last lightning to re-open. Picked up sticks and branches this morning.
6/7/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clear sky, calm air, heat haze again. Another hot spring day22222222222222222222222 - this is where Shadow jumped on the keyboard. CoCo is panting a lot. Lightning ran in on the outdoor pool pumps on Sunday. Still trying to get them going.
6/8/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A few high thin clouds, can see a couple of contrails. Other wise blue skies and calm air and a heat haze. Stay hydrated! It's going to be another hot one.
6/9/2011 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I wish I could leave a recording of yesterday's Hot, humid, hazy weather. Calm air, about 70. Watered my potted plants in the dark last night and was dripping in sweat. We need a break!
6/10/2011 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M had thunder after 7 p.m. as an isolated storm skirted the area, but alas not rain fell here not even a T. Temps dropped and the breeze made it almost pleasant outside. This morning is the same old thing!
6/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M What a great morning! Sunshine and warm, calm air - what more could you ask for - kind of perfect - almost like the movie Ground Hog Day. But I'm not going to work today. The only thing is my gauge is what the birds have left.
6/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.18 M M M M The sky grew dark before sunset and thunder rumbled in the distance. A cooler breeze blew. Rain fell and it was good! This morning I've got little puddles here and there and many growing things have shot up overnight. The temps are pleasant and sky is just right!
6/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny with a little breeze and finally a little cooler - lot of yard work still to do just been too hot.
6/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny, in the low 60s and a little breeze - watching for some rain later. Lots of yard work before office work. Go out and get some Vitamin D.
6/15/2011 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Not much in the rain bucket from yesterday's precip. More in town. This morning I've got clouds, darker ones to the north and east - some thunder rumbling in them, too. Nice breeze blowing - too bad it's off to work I go.
6/16/2011 4:45 AM 0.96 M M M M Yesterday evening's storm came in with a gust front. My hanging plants on the front porch went from vertical to horizontal in a blink. And I lost satellite feed. Brief heavy rain. This morning there is a layer of fog just barely above the ground over my field - creepifying.
6/17/2011 4:45 AM 0.02 M M M M Some clouds, nice temps, not much air moving, humid. Had some distant thunder yesterday evening while I was working in the garden. Just as I finished, a gentle rain. Yesterday morning fog continued to develop, pretty heavy in some low lying areas.
6/18/2011 7:00 AM 0.09 M M M M Yesterday evening's storm kind of blasted in and fizzled quickly. This morning it's breezy-windy, cloudy, humid and around 70 degrees. Waiting for the impending storm. Back at some garden work until the rain comes then how about straightening the garage.
6/19/2011 7:00 AM 2.00 M M M M Wicked severe thunderstorm during the night, wanted to pull my pillow over my head but its was too loud - lightning kept hitting my cell tower (lightning arrester) always sounds like a cannon. This morning I'm looking at a shelf to the NE. Thunder is rolling and air is so juicy. Under a Tornado watch until 10 a.m. Our church has a basement - hope we don't have to take cover and pray there. I've been praying for a hedge of protection for all in the path of this storm. It looks wicked on the radar. Stay safe!
6/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.49 M M M M Yesterday had multiple tornado watches and thunderstorm warnings and sunshine with partly blue skies - what a mix. This morning it's HUMID with a capital humid. Breezy and in the 70s - don't know what the dew point is but it's gotta be up there.
6/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M To me it is sultry this morning. A bit of a breeze. No morning dew. Sunshine and mostly blue skies. Even the birds aren't very active right now - they were at sunrise. Glad I'm in the office all day!
6/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.50 M M M M Overcast, muggy and windy. Feels and looks like rain
7/1/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A few high thin clouds, a bit pink at the eastern horizon. Temp about 60 and just going to go up from there. Got super duties at the pool this weekend and we are going to fry!
7/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sunny, hazy and warm already. Dewy grass. Gonna be busy at the pool today! Gotta keep the guards cool and happy! Shadow cat has been chewing my ankles and CoCo has a neighbor dog visiting - won't long and they'll be looking for shade. Today, stay cool - head to the pool. BTW I traveled the Freedom Trail in Boston and heard more history (loved it). This Monday, July 4 - remember why we live the way we do. I had six ancestors at the Battle of Bunker Hill. We have soldiers around the globe. If freedom was free everyone would have it. I will back away from the soapbox and return to my morning routine.
7/3/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warm, humid and hazy, a few thin clouds above. Pool was hot and busy yesterday and I expect the same today. Gave lots of swim tests and watched as they came squealing down the big water slides. Can hardly wait for the cookout tomorrow!
7/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Happy Independence Day! I've got sunshine on the deck and thunder at the front porch. What to do! Breezy, humid and warm. Gotta a cookout later today and lots of catch up to do from vacation. Outside before the storm I guess - but if it roars, go indoors!
7/5/2011 7:00 AM 0.88 M M M M Had lots of wind with that morning rain. This morning it's humid warm and a little air is moving about. Weather didn't slow down anything for the cook-out. What did slow it down is when CoCo ran out in front of my truck as I was going to the store. She's got some healing up to do, but she'll be fine. She's hanging close to me. Poor baby!
7/6/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Can you believe I forgot to file my meager precip report. I was taking care of my walking wounded CoCo and just forgot. She seems to be better. Wants to be in the house with me and trying to play the kitten Shadow. She's also enjoying the babying. I feel so awful. This morning had a lot of haze and was warm and humid. Now it's hot and humid with haze. It's summer in Kentucky!
7/7/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clear, calm and pretty warm. Muggy!!! Tried to work outside for a while just before the glooming and I was soaked with sweat. My house has a bedroom air conditioner and lots of fans - it was built way prior to the Civil War.
7/8/2011 4:45 AM T M M M M Just a light sprinkle right now - didn't even mind getting wet. A little air moving and comfy temps. Miss CoCo was looking forward to her soft breakfast while keeping an eye on Shadow who had escaped and was hiding in the lettuce. Try finding a black kitten in the dark -she doesn't mind being wet either.
7/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.07 M M M M This morning around 05:00 the field behind me had this thick cottony blanket of fog - zero visibility. Had some less dense fog around. At 07:00 it was burning off quickly. Grass is very wet - went out barefoot. Lots of clouds with patches of blue and sun, not much air moving and it's humid. CoCo is better everyday and is waiting for Shadow to come out from under the bed.
7/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Blue skies and humid! It's going to be another HHH day. Hot, Humid and Hazy; that's what July is all about here in southern KY - along with afternoon pop-up thunderstorms. CoCo ran a little yesterday - but wounds are still healing. Growing up I had a book called The Curious Kitten (still have it). I think Shadow came right out of that book - she's in everything including every drawer, cabinet and nook and cranny. Precarious places the most - like the tops of doors. Garden is producing, still waiting for my first red tomato.
7/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warm, humid and hazy this morning. We have a heat advisory for the day with a heat index 105-112 - Drink, Drink, Drink! And stay cool - take a dip at the pool. Got swim lessons this evening. Got a meatloaf in the oven now. Sunscreen, hat, shirt, sunglasses, shade, protect yourself from the sun and excessive heat.
7/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I'm sweating - already! Clear, hot, humid and the haze is coming. Yesterday was outside for 30 minutes and ALL my clothes and hair were soaked. Glad I'm in the office today.
7/13/2011 7:00 AM 2.32 M M M M The afternoon precip was 2.13 with 0.19 after I went to bed. Had a big limb down in the driveway, telephone is out and the satellite wasn't working right - but it is now. This morning about 50-50 on clouds and blue skies, a gentle breeze is blowing and the temp is about comfortable for me. Had a big cool off yesterday afternoon, but it quickly warmed up again, just not as hot.
7/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sorry this is late - it will be for a while - lightning ran in on the telephone jack on my computer. Calling today for an appointment. this morning had a red horizon and a little breeze. No dew and it's warm.
7/15/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A few thin clouds, blue sky and humid. It's warm on its way to hot, with a chance of thunderstorms. Grass had no dew. I might get my computer back today.

7/21/2011 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I'm back in the saddle!!! It got to just 91 degrees in my dining room yesterday and it's 88 now. AC is only in the bedroom in this pre Civil War house. Had some thunder yesterday evening; my friend in the Ft. Run area got a deluge and thunder and lightning. This morning is hot and humid and just going to be the same but hotter and more humid the NWS says for the rest of the day with an excessive heat warning. Got pool duty this morning then to the office for some good AC! Stay Cool!
7/22/2011 4:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Had clouds and thunder yesterday but no rain. Cooled the air though. This morning the grass is wet, too dark out to see the sky. Still under an excessive heat warning from NWS. Temps are comfortable right now. Had lifeguard meeting last night at the outdoor pool and the water felt like bath water.
7/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Good sunshiny morning! Beautiful outside but warm going to hot! Lots to do this morning outside. A little breeze is going to help!
7/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heavy dew last night. Still lots of humidity. And warm this morning. Early this morning the stars and moon were so clear - what a treat to see.
7/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nada, zilch, bumpkus - nothing. Rained in other parts of the county (I was there) but not in this rain bucket. Cloudy, had some sun. A little breeze humid and I'm sweaty. Devil cat and Dragon dog have been at it - cat has drawn blood in several places and dog has drug a bunch of stuff out of the garage down to the edge of the road where she lays under the tree. I you're wondering, CoCo is 100% again after I ran over her leg July 4. Stay cool!
7/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M lots of fog hovering above the fields. Calm air, blue sky and humid. I have cabbage, corn and peppers to harvest this morning before work.
7/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M About 06:15 there was a heavy blanket of fog all around the area - zero visibility. Most of it has burned off. Calm air and warm and humid. Gotta do corn today and maybe some pickles - all after work.
7/28/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Calm, warm and humid. Yesterday was miserable, especially picking corn and cucumbers. Put corn is in the freezer and cucumbers are in jars.
7/29/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 0Dark:30 - Not so humid and not as warm - not by much. Clear and calm. Early morning lappers await. Stay cool - hit the pool. Sometimes, you just have to splash!
7/30/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M Had to wait for the lightning to pass. Just about 07:00 the storm hit - so all I can say is T. Cloudy, cooler and rain. Nice change from the overpowering heat and humidity. Maybe it should be a play day!
7/31/2011 7:00 AM 0.60 M M M M Yesterday's 7 a.m. rain brought 0.59 so the rest of the day didn't see much. This morning is heavy fog and everything is wet. Not as hot but HUMID. Got caught in a nasty storm in Gallatin, Tenn. about 19:30 yesterday. Huge drops and lots of them, glad it didn't last long. Shadow and CoCo were happy to see me.
8/1/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Calm sunny and humid, was expecting more fog but not here. For every fog in August there will be a snow - so they say.
8/2/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The great tomato hunt in early morning light and thick fog. The fog burned off. High thin clouds in that beautiful blue sky. Calm air, humid and not it's on it way to hot. Grass and such is very wet. Tally: 1 fog in August = 1 snow in winter.
8/3/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M In the midst of a long heat wave - I'd like to remember that about 6 months ago I had 3.2 inches of snow on the ground - now wasn't that refreshing. Sunny, warm and humid with calm air. Garden is still producing - had a great BLT without the L for breakfast yesterday and will again today. Good tomatoes are only here for a little while.
8/4/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 0:Dark:30, warm and humid. Yesterday afternoon breeze was not very pleasant 100 degree air blowing is still 100 degree air. CoCo only moved from shade to shade. 92 degrees in my dining room - thank goodness for AC in the bedrooms. Stay cool~)
8/5/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Yesterday was almost pleasant compared to the day before. Sunrise has been coming later - can't see the sky now. Calm air, comfortable temp and a little humid. Sol will change that to hot in a little while.
8/6/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M Cloudy, humid, maybe a little cooler. Had a great birthday date with my youngest granddaughter last night with a couple of drops on the windshield.
8/7/2011 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Grass is dry, barely any air moving,thunderhead with a column to the SSW; the sun beaming off the top of it making it a milking white. Cloudy except to the east, that's partly cloudy. Humid but cooler.
8/8/2011 7:00 AM 0.17 M M M M Patchy clouds, humid - but almost comfortable. Grass is wet. The catch in the gauge was red - have no idea what the birds deposited. A little air is moving.
8/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Cloudy, cooler, but still humid. Calm air and dry grass. Really could use a steady, all-day rain. Garden is tapering off - no rain.
8/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M This is the kind of weather I've been dreaming of. Low humidity, comfy temps and sunshine. I know it won't last long but what a relief! Glad to see the increased chances of rain.
8/11/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Internet was down. Great morning! Calm air, and less humidity along with nice temps. Trying to type with Shadow waltzing across the keyboard and in front of the monitor is comical.
8/12/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M clear calm and cooler and the air is drier. This is the best early morning in a long time. Hope OK and TX are getting some of this.
8/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cooler, airy and breezy, a little more humidity. Was hoping for an all-day rain - don't think we are going to get any. Have another birthday date today with my oldest grandson! Can't wait. Carpe Diem!
8/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.09 M M M M Not much in the gauge.Calm air and partly sunny. Grass is wet and a couple of little puddles on the deck.
8/15/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Comfy, dry and less humid, partly sunny. What a relief from that extended heat wave.
8/16/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another gorgeous day in the neighborhood! Dew glistening in the sun. A bit of haze near the woods. Not a cloud. Temps are great. And in six months when winter is upon us we'll wish for this day!
8/17/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
8/18/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Can see lightning to the NE. Temps are warming and humidity is going up - but we had a nice break.
8/19/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Everything is so stressed because of heat and lack of rain. 0:Dark30 - a little air moving. Humid and warm.
8/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M A sprinkle hardly worth mentioning compared to the Fountain Run area's 1.5 inches. Clear skies, pleasant and a heavy dew. Got an early morning swim to raise money for cancer research. Lost my husband to it and dear friends - my sweet sister-in-law was just diagnosed last week. I'm swimming for all of them.
8/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.30 M M M M AAAHHHH! The gentle, lengthy rain we've needed. Gentle breeze. Comfy temps - glad to see this precip. I slowly walked to the gauge in the rain to enjoy it. And it was good!
8/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M sunny & warm & gorgeous - carpe diem
8/23/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
8/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M why is it that the great mornings when I could work outside only come when I have to work early?
8/25/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M humid and warm at 0Dark:30. Not too many come to the pool early on Thursday. Waiting to see how much rain if any comes in around noon or 1 p.m.
8/26/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It's dry, clear and calm - The rain I'd hoped for went way east. Grass is crunchy with lots of brown.
8/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It was hard to stop on this beautiful day to do this. Cooler and way less humid. Unfortunately it's very dry and I'm surprised our county doesn't have a burn ban.
8/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bright, sunny and dry. Garden quit producing. Yard was mowed a week ago and doesn't look like anything has grown including spindly weeds. I've got root crops to come up but I can't get them up because the ground won't release them - might have to dig.
8/29/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Great temps, low humidity and beautiful sky. But oh, so dry...still - watching for rain chances.
8/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clear and calm but still dry. Parts of my yard are dead and the bridal wreath bush is badly distressed. I do have lots of Garden Spiders out spinning those enormous webs. Have not seen many insects in any webs though. I love to watch these spiders.
8/31/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Might have to clean the bird poop and cobwebs out of the gauge - have a chance of rain in a few days. Still dry and crunch and full of ragweed pollen and itchy watery eyes. When CoCo runs through the yard now there's a cloud of dust.
9/1/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dark and warm headed for a hot day - again - hot and dry but humid. Relief is on its way this weekend.
9/2/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M How dry can it get here? I was in Death Valley in 2000 and saw what dry really looks like. Can hardly wait for the relief we need. Oh, yeah and it's hot! It was 122 degrees in Death Valley. Glad even with the heat index it doesn't feel like that.
9/3/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Up and out before the sunrise. As it came up there was a haze everywhere. Humidity and heat! Grass still doesn't need mowing - just a few seed heads swaying in the little breeze. And I didn't get any of the early evening pop-up showers:(. Went to the Grand Re-Opening of the DG Market Store got there early enough for the free stuff and great bargains. Brought CoCo a big bone that she so proudly pranced through the yard with it clinched in her teeth. Miss Shadow is perched above me watching the ceiling fan. Lots to do - then I'm sewing the rest of the day.
9/4/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Had to go out on this cloud morning and look for a chance there was precip in the gauge like I was kid waiting to open presents on Christmas - nothing. Drove through a pop-up about 10 p.m. in Warren County - lots of huge drops, by the time I got the wipers on I had driven through it. Anticipating rain and cooler temps! I'm even moving my flats into the greenhouse so the heavy rain doesn't flood them.
9/5/2011 7:00 AM 1.16 M M M M The rain began in a gentle fashion. This morning rain, breeze, much cooler. I put on a jacket to go out. I have all the windows open and love hearing the rain fall and seeing the curtains and drapes blow. The air is so refreshing and even inspiring - I'm going to paint the utility room ceiling then to the greenhouse for cleaning and listening to the rain - they don't call it Labor Day for nothing.
9/6/2011 7:00 AM 1.38 M M M M Rain has been steady. Windy, chilly and wet. When I think about 100 degrees Saturday and in the 50s today, no wonder CoCo was crying under the living room window. Saw a bright red sky on the western horizon at sunset - didn't see the sun. Have a ducky day and try to stay dry. We so needed this rain!
9/7/2011 7:00 AM 0.97 M M M M Between a mist and a drizzle. Breezy and cool. So much like fall.
9/8/2011 4:45 AM 0.02 M M M M Overcast and misting. Not much air moving. Would not have noticed the mist if hadn't had a floodlight in my hand. Temps are a bit warmer. Let's see how many takers I have at the pool.
9/9/2011 4:45 AM T M M M M Not much to see at in the dark of the morning. Cool and calm. CoCo has certainly been frisky and mischievous since the temps have changed and Shadow is curling up when she sleeps instead of stretching out on the ceramic tile.
9/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nice to see some sun this morning. Red sky at sunrise. Temps are perfect and little air moving and it's going to be a great day!
9/11/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M If I haven't been out when it sprinkled, I would have missed it. A little air is moving, pretty cloudy but not totally overcast, still have some sun......9/11
9/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Thunder and lightning to the NW about 18:30 yesterday - could see a cloud burst in the distance - must have gotten a wee bit of few drops from that. This morning is dewy, comfy and a little air stirring. CoCo is surely enjoying this cooler temps. She's running everywhere and dragging up everything - back to being Draggin' Dog. Lots and lots of Garden spiders everywhere - some are huge. I've been seeing more Preying Mantis than I usually do of all sizes.
9/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Lots of sunshine and heavy dew. Looks so great out - but I'm headed to the office.
9/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Lots of dew and lots of sunshine! Go get a big dose of Vitamin D!
9/15/2011 4:45 AM 0.66 M M M M Had thunder and lightning for a little while, but not directly. This morning it's cooler and breezy and gently raining. Have a ducky day!
9/16/2011 4:45 AM 0.07 M M M M Just the remnants of yesterday's precip. It's chilly in the 40s. A little cloudy and some breeze. Can't wait for the sunshine.
9/17/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M patchy clouds, cool, some air is stirring. Typically fall- only 6 days left of summer. I'm not going to miss the dry, scorching summer we had. But I did notice the amount of severe thunderstorms we generally have was way down - always have to take my hanging pots down - only once this summer. Got get some vitamin D!!!
9/18/2011 7:00 AM 0.07 M M M M The popcorn clouds and the sun are playing hide and seek. Heavy dew! Whispy air moving - fall is in the air.
9/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Had a little shower about 22:00 last night - apparently not much. Looking at the radar this morning, I'm looking forward to some rain today. Comfy temps, hardly any dew and CoCo at the mop - granted it was old, but I really like it. More leaves and acorns are coming down. My oak trees are usually the last to lose all their leaves. Summer comes to a close this Thursday - a summer I'm glad to see go.
9/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.26 M M M M A little fog, a little mist, a little drizzle. Almost reminds me of Carl Sandburg's poem FOG THE fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.
9/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Very overcast and looking a little yellow - everything is wet and a bare mist - could be a ducky day!
9/22/2011 4:45 AM 0.01 M M M M Lots of dew - temps may be in the 60s but they feel good to me. May have a little fog hard to tell in the dark - I was using a spotlight.
9/23/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overcast, breezy and cooler - waiting for the rain.
9/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Beautiful day to be out and about. Heavy, heavy dew, a few clouds and cool temps. Got to take CoCo to the vet for her rabies shot. Then I'm going to be a weekend warrior!
9/25/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Comfy, partly cloudy and a little air moving. Seeing more and more leaves falling. Some of the leaves on the trees have crimson edges. Got tons done in the greenhouse with Shadow and CoCo's company, although not at the same time. CoCo tends to slime Shadow.
9/26/2011 7:00 AM 1.10 M M M M Light rain, gentle air moving. Had lightning and thunder, power failure and moderate rainfall at times. Thunder woke me at 03:00 and 06:00. Rain began at 22:00. Have a ducky day!
9/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Precip is just remnants of yesterday morning's showers. The afternoon for great and sunny. Temps this morning are chilly in the upper 40s. I put on my first morning jacket. Still no heat in the house. When I lived in Chicago my heat ran from September through April. Glad the climate here is more tolerable - just really hot this year.
9/28/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Gray looking skies are clearing up as the sun tops the trees in the woods behind me - just a few horizon clouds giving way to a big blue sky. A little air moving and coolish temps. CoCo and one of her friends wrestling on the deck with Shadow keeping tabs in the kitchen window.
9/29/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It's fall and I'm loving these temps. Cool this morning and beautiful even in the dark. Going to the pool and I might get to watch the sunrise - it's going to be a perfect day! Go get some natural vitamin D.
9/30/2011 4:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cool and a little air moving. Can see a few stars. Did you wonder if someone, somewhere was doing the exact same thing you were doing- like putting on a swimming suit at 4:30 a.m.

6/23/2011 6/30/2011 4:30 AM 8 2.76 M M Just got back from vacation in Boston and north of Boston - great trip! This morning is humid in the low 60s, not much air moving. Looks like we got a heat wave coming. Boston was rain all but 2 days in the 60s on those days. What a relief from the southcentral KY area.
