You are here: Home / Weather It is raining. Nothing too exciting. Coming down a bit harder than earlier, and the wind has changed direction. Just what you’d expect. Lights are flickering from time to time. Would not surprise me if we joined the 61,000 other Mississippians in losing power. If things stay more or less as they are for the

I see it’s been a couple of years since I posted this. Grumble. I want to see the trash truck come rumbling up the driveway. Followed by the propane truck and the mail man’s jeep. How’s everyone holding up?
Sometimes you just want a nice warm, cozy supper. Campbell’s Tomato Bisque Soup made with milk (not water) with a salad and good sandwich. This is basically a grilled cheese with a twist. Homemade white bread. Velveeta cheese. Thick cut bologna. The twist is that you whip up a simple French toast batter (eggs &

It would have been more fun if the outdoor humidity had been 65–like all palindrome–but you take what Mother Nature gives you. This new Department of Redundancy Department weather station is not nearly as detailed as the other one, but at least I don’t have to get up and walk three paces to see what’s

A few weeks ago we received a threat from Home Depot: If you don’t use your Home Depot Credit Card your credit limit will be reduced. We get one every year because a) the nearest Home Deport is more than an hour away, 2) there’s a Lowes in Starkvegas, and iii) there’s just not much

I have been following the rare west coast hurricane. I found this particularly interesting. (Screen shots all taken within seconds of each other.) The model on the left is NHC-EP from US National Hurricane Center (an agency within NOAA). The center model is UKM from the UK (can’t quickly figure out what the M is

It doesn’t *feel* like 137. But then again, I don’t really know what 137˚ feels like. I just checked NWS heat index calculator using this temperature and relative humidity. 137˚F. So it’s not a glitch in my monitor.
Today’s low temperature was 72˚F. It occurred at 12:35pm just 65 minutes after today’s high of 98˚ Weirdest thing I seen in a great while. We didn’t get much rain, but right before it hit it got windy enough to flash the electricity a few times. Never went out but was enough to make me

February 25, 2015 We starting to return to <quote> </unquote> normal. Only 90˚ with a heat index of 106 so we should be just fine. 🙂 Doesn’t look as if too many Americans’ Sundays are going to be spoiled by bad weather. Enjoy!
January 10, 2011 I think this was the year the lake froze completely over.
February 26, 2015 Reporting in. @10:02am 93˚F, 65% RH, 112˚HI Nothing much more to say except sifting though my photo albums it’s interesting to see how the Farm has changed over the years. Stuff grows pretty well in this climate.
Rocky, February 25, 2015 We had an isolated thunderstorm about five minutes after I got the new personal weather station sensor mounted–maybe 1:30 or so. Temperature dropped 20 degrees in a matter of minutes and we got just over a quarter of an inch of rain. Just enough to steam the place up nicely. Speaking

January 11, 2021 According to the thermometer in the shade on the wall of the Bunkhouse, it’s 90˚F. The hygrometer reports that the relative humidity is 65%. Doing the calculation, we discover that the Heat Index (if you put store in this metric) is 102˚. It’s 10:22am. Mr. Big Food is out there cutting the

Today calls for another cool down. From February 2021. Hard to believe we’re coming up on the 25th anniversary of the construction of The Synaptic Jct., isn’t it? The Synaptic Jct. was the outdoor kitchen Mr. Big Food’s graduate students built for him at our home in Cincinnati. Took the sign when we moved to

From last December. Check out the indoor temperature. A sweltering 65˚F. Q: Did they get anything right? A: Not really. The forecast low for overnight yesterday/today has been steadily going up. I think late yesterday it was about 13˚. At the beginning of the week it was 8˚. As you can see, the overnight low

Only 92˚ out there now. Fifty-four percent humidity so not too bad. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Stay cool.
Beginning February 1, look at your daily high temperatures. If the high is greater than 55˚, subtract 55 from the daily high. Keep a running total. Pines will begin pollen production when the total exceeds 300. And now you know. We hit 300 on February 28th.
And unfortunately, I will probably be driving in it. So let’s hope it holds off until we get home.Or misses us entirely. That would be nice but I think wishful thinking. The flip side is that it’s currently 73˚. Rocky and Missy are loving it. How’s the weather in your neck of the woods?
February 2019 continues to pay for itself. And we haven’t even gotten to Tiger’s misadventure yet! I understand. We weren’t actually together speaking of math, but Rocky & I were, so… . 77 – 29 = 48. A 48 degree drop in temperature from yesterday afternoon to this morning. More layers! And speaking of math–

We’re in the green and will be all week, but I see that blue–and yee gads even purple!–are moving south as we close out the month of January. I thought I’d remind you of the series of posts I did in December, Holiday Hot Drinks. Cocoas and chocolates, teas, coffees, and hot drinks with alcohol.
