6:15PM EDT - Storm Moving Out

I guess between 4pm-5pm EDT was when the rain, thunder and lightening were at their worst...sadly I conked out for a nap and slept through it all! The rain part of the storm seems to have moved out of our area and into the north. However the winds will remain with us through the early morning hours. As of right now it really doesn't seem much more than a breeze, 10-15mph. I don't think, according to the forecast, that we're looking at wind speeds of anything greater than 35mph though. Pfft! Fiddlesticks! I was hoping for a bit more excitement.

Anyhow I went outsite and was lucky enough to catch the tail end of a rainbow sinking down into the Atlantic ocean. Not the greatest shot in the world, but an ok one just the same.



Looking back down to the southeast you can see the storm moving out, leaving clear skies behind.


I suppose I'm a tad disapointed that things didn't get a bit more intense. I'm sure though as we move farther into autumn there will be other storms to capture my attention, and with the onset of winter time, I'll once again look forward to the first snowfall of the season with as much excitement as a small child. Then, as is typical for me, I'll go from excited to dreading my uncanny ability to slip and fall at least 2 times a season.

Was just listening to the weather report and it's gonna get COLD tonight! Down into the low 30's! However, considering that -30F BELOW ZERO is common during the dead of winter in these parts, that's really not all that cold. It's not supposed to get past 60F tomorrow during the day, but then over the weekend, rebound back into the upper 70's! Either way, I look forward to whatever the weather holds for us, as I know the explosion of colour that is Autumn in New England is not too far off.
