We got 0.55 inches of rain today, and it is predicted that we will get another 3.55 inches tonight. There's a flood watch until 5:00 PM tomorrow.
It is currently 54F, that's about 15 degrees warmer than normal.

We had a pretty good dumping of rain with a second wave planned to hit later tonight arriving via Hawaiian express so temps are staying in a balmy 50's
Is it difficult to keep the still lit during such conditions?
At 5:00 AM this morning the dog got up to go out. I took him to the back door and opened the sliding door. The wind and rain was blowing in all directions. With the light on, I could see it blowing sideways and in swirls. He stuck his head out only as far as it being flush with the door, and wouldn't go any further. He backed away, and came back in. His face was all wet.
I checked with the weatherman and there was going to be a lull in the next hour. So I waited for it. When it came I got the dog out of his bed, and coaxed him out of the door, with a little shove. It rained hard on and off until noon. Those areas that flood will continue to peak until mid day tomorrow.
My nephew in law went to help, pump out his friends basement. Only to get stuck there because the roads on his way home were all closed.

Yeah, our winters can get cold, and a damp cold. I spent three years in Georgia, near Atlanta. They also have miserable winters. Damp cold is miserable. Fortunately for Atlantans, the winters are shorter than it is for us Jerseyans.

You have way prettier woman poppy .. used to live near atl to Marietta area
I disagree. I've had the pleasure of being in the company of pretty women in both states.
I remember one winter sitting on my front porch in shorts in Virginia listening to the AM radio telling me the NASCAR race in Atlanta had been snowed out. 😱
That one still baffles me.
Then there was the year Greensboro NC got 6" of ice while 50 miles north Danville VA got all rain. Winter on the east coast can be strange at times.
The nor-easter that went up the coast yesterday rained on me south of the mason/dixon Sunday yet was fairly mild as it passed through, meanwhile yesterday it snarled its way up the coast north of the mason/dixon making a mess along the way. Same storm.

DAM! YOU NEED A DAM!
A little cool for my thin Florida blood this morning, lows in the mid 50s. Let's just say I seriously questioned my decision to get an unheated bidet this morning. Fortunately at our other home we have the full Japanese bidet experience going on.

Had another heat wave this weekend. Temperatures until around Monday reached 36º at peak. When you have humidity to breathe with and short showers on most evenings to dissipate part of the heat, it ain't that bad.
Forecast for the New Year's week is for 80+mm of rain in a week. I'm kinda dreading it – our infrastructure is not designed for so much rain all at once.

Mentioned this a while back, a local Meteorologist has put together average temperatures over the last 150 years or so.
simply; every day high temp ~ for every day of the year 'averaged' [example: 52.8F is the warmest average/year temp]
We are only .3F away from the warmest year ever here in Wisconsin (currently tied for second)
The top three warmest years are just within the last 11 years
Not an opinion

I wonder who backed this research of his.
At some point you have to wonder if the numbers reflect how much the ever expanding concrete jungle holds more and more heat.
Location of monitor point matters.
