Hum-friggin-bug!

Yesterday quite a few states got hit hard by a line sweeping across the east, today, we were supposed to get some of it. Well, it pretty much fizzled out by the time it hit our area, and according to Jeff Gammons:

Pathetic wannabe squall line couldn’t event wet my lawn. Nothing more than a wind shift with sprinkles. Blah!

Well, as I said in note for video (on YouTube), it was over before it started - but, just for Jeff - here, on video - is the sound of our lawn getting wet! :D

Tried to upload this most of the day, but for whatever reason, it just would not load, so tried again tonight and worked great within 10 minutes.

Had some wind reports today for North Carolina and for Virginia, as well a hail report, and from yesterdays storms that went through, Alabama was still having problems with flooding earlier, as well having Graupel today! That link will take you to Alabama Mike’s site. :o)

Getting back to Jeff, yesterday he posted some visible satellite shots that had different features on it - why not go and take a look and see what features he picked out to talk about!

Tomorrow, my telescope tripod and gear will be going to their new home. To say that I am bummed, does not even describe it. It’s not like I’ve had the time in the last year or so to use it, but, it was here, if I did get the time. Now, I won’t have that luxury. Not to mention how hard I worked to get all the stuff for the tripod and mount, plus the extras to make it easier - and now will be gone.

Humbug!

On a bright note though - have had the windows open since this afternoon and plan on snuggling under a quilt as the cold air comes through. Oh… if only it would snow, that would perk me up!! :o)

Stay safe peeps!

    Great quote from Jeff! Cracked me up that you picked that to share. Sure beats my lacking description… baby squall line… sorry about your loss. Hope you’re hanging in there. Just remember the nebulae…

    laughs… I loved that statement from Jeff, it was spot on! Although, I could have also used another from him. Sounds very kinky to me! “Twinking my Twitter page”

    laughs

    Oh wait, that’s not right - “Tweaking my Twitter page” - still sounds hinky!

    As you can see, I am home now, baby is gone to new home… sigh

    And yes - I said SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! Not too much of course, just to give everything a glistening, clean look - and of course, sanitized containers for it to fall into, to go in my freezer. :D
