Default yippee rain!

Last week a couple of solid falls now overnight 104 mm. This is after 3
months without one fall more than a spit. I may get some fresh goodies from
the garden for Xmas after all. The pasture has greened-up, the horses are
smiling....


i'm glad you've finally got some rain there.
i was going to say down there, but do you consider
yourself down?

we've managed fairly regular rains the past
month, including last nights major storms (parts
further south of us had tornado weather). it
must not have blown above 100km/hr as the house
didn't shake, much, but for a while i had to get
up a few times and find the bottles in the window
shelves that were rattling (adjustable stained
glass windows ). the driving rain was hard
enough to push through the front door and i had
to wipe that up and left a towel on the floor to
keep it from running. probably only around 30-
40mm of rain.
