Yes the wet season provides many changes in what you see - sometimes dramatic. At 7am yesterday, there were storms over the Bali Sea to the north of us, as the sun rose with clear skies to the east, giving a rainbow that was bright at the north (wet) end. There must be a pot of gold somewhere.

In my old "battle grounds" of Grand Forks, North Dakota, it's minus 21 F (minus 29 C), winds at 25 km/hr, so it feels like minus 33 C. :!: But now, i'm not there to enjoy it. :lol:

Thanks for the weather reports, all.
It's nice out here in the forum lately as well, no?
mimpimanis
Yes it is, I wonder why that might be :wink: :lol:

Enjoying the relative calm while I can.
Quiet here around the homestead since our 16-yr-old is off @ school 6 nights a week 'til March building a robot to compete in this:

So hot here our trains can't run as the tracks and brackets have expanded n the heat. :shock:
mimpimanis
That sounds like a British Rail excuse
"leaves on the tracks"
"wrong kind of snow"
are a few more :lol:

Flattered that you looked! Last March in Atlanta (world finals for this competition) we were up against teams from Conn., NY, Michigan, funded/financed by the likes of Raytheon, GM, GE, Chrysler, &c. and managed to hold our own (just above 50th percentile--not bad for home-grown/financed small-town effort)

I've found out we're not funding enough hard science here, and it's truly alarming. We're devolving into a nation of salesmen....
