My next door neighbor in Bend texted me that he had his snowblower out today, taking care of some overnight frozen fluff.

I replied with a couple of photos from my day:


Not better or worse, just different.

This was the humidity and temperature just before it started to rain:



It's raining now... not much RH-room for evaporative cooling.

I'm in Mississippi, but outside of the Tornado Watch zone. I am, however, in a Flood Watch zone... and camped near a river. But...if the river rises too much I reckon I'll just hop in my kayak and ride it out to the Gulf. Head for one of those offshore platforms.

How long you reckon it will take to hit the gulf? I did make an appointment to take my truck in right in the midst of the rain that's forecast to hit here.

 

[MarkBC]

How long you reckon it will take to hit the gulf?...

Well, I'm about 7 miles from the nearest bay, about 12 from the Gulf proper, as the pelican flies...
