Due to airline issues, we drove our next two generations home to the San Francisco Bay area instead of their planned flight (on an infamous airline.) 5 days later, 1.5" of rain in my gauge. Not too bad of driving conditions, either.
Wish you all a Happy Safe New Year.

Oh your relatives got stuck with the airline problems, too? My cousin and her family got stuck in Orlando for a week because none of us live anywhere near Florida to come rescue her and absolutely everything was booked: planes, trains, cars, etc. Apparently the moving truck rental people were even on the lookout to make sure no one was trying to drive home in a U-Haul (like in Home Alone )!

20C overnight temp.

Nice!

31F and a dusting of snow on the ground.

Our Sunday is expected to be 18-31C. (No snow)

Guess which location wins.

Short but damaging storm over Sydney (AU) yesterday.

Watch for the flying boat at the very beginning of the clip. I thought sailing involved being ON the water, not flying through it..

From our country to yours!

It would have been easier to post the boat over instead of flying it over.
