Than was a very long day, Stuart!

---

The power was out here for about an hour!
The wind continues to roar, so I hope the power stays on.

Wow, Stuart, that was very long! I hope they pay at least as much as OW does...

$20/h less tax

Wow, you're rich! The good thing about working for OW: it's an essential service, so no taxes are deducted.

Apologies to all thermometer lovers out there, but my new favorite way to guess how warm it is outside is seeing if the neighbor's beagles are wearing their little sweaters. No sweaters today, must be warmer!

13.6c overnight and expecting 23c
Very pleasant for Autumn.

Los Angeles has received a significant amount of its water supply from the Eastern Sierra (Think mover "China Town." ) They have reliable snow measurements back to about 1910 in the same courses about the same day every year. This year they are WAY over anything recorded. After 4 years of drought, now they are worrying about managing runoff.

I hope they manage to store some of the excess.
There may be another 4 years of drought.

Looks like we are in for a bit of damp weather over Easter. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-06/ ... 102195598

The Easter weather forecast was quite the event in the years before easy travel

Makes hunting for Easter Eggs a whole new challenge!

The rain band parted and went around us to Nd & Sd.
Lets see what happens to the next bad tonight.

I had a wonderful relaxing time with sisters in Illinois most of the time at a quilting retreat. Well, mostly relaxing; except for the tornado. We were in a large second story very open room and had to relocate downstairs to an inside area with lots of heavy supporting walls. 40 minutes later we went back to work. EF2 about 7 miles away, but fantastic squalls and clouds.

We were near Carlinville- half way between the town and the dark red polygon.

Wow!!! I'm glad you and your sisters were OK!

Wow, glad you're all okay, Morgan! Glad to hear it didn't interrupt the quilting too much.

Quite an adventure!
Hopefully there wasn't too much damage in the area?

Another lovely day downunder.
8-21c.
About the same for the rest of the week, slight chance (24%) of rain on Sunday

Had 1.5 cm rain the past 2 days, total. Unusual, but not unheard of. My weeds are just lapping it up and growing like...weeds
