Not nearly so chill this morning: the storm those cirrus clouds hinted at has come, leaving us overcast overnight, and as a result we didn't cool off nearly as much. Temperature at daybreak was 65F/18C and the sky is completely grey -- though not uniformly so: the layering is thicker and darker over the mountains in a way very suggestive of moisture getting too heavy to remain vapor. The birds, during my morning walk, were subdued -- except for a fluster of sparrows down one alley.

The chance of rain down here on the valley floor is only 30%, and unlike the last storm it's not at all blustery -- barely a breeze in fact. Better chance of rain tomorrow, and predicted much cooler, so probably the associated cold front hasn't actually moved through. We'll see.

Middle of winter, Sydney.

We're in lockdown with Delta COVID wandering free in a chilly winter full of sniffles and coughs. So it's all on the cold and damp and miserable right now.

Our temps are down to 5C in the dark of the mornings, and up to about 18C in the midafternoons - just manageable for this Sydneysider. But June and July are the coldest months of the year and I'm not very fond of the cold (especially not when living in a house which had zero wall and floor insulation when we moved in...

It's overcast and rainy this morning. I'm hoping it lasts all day. We haven't had a good rainy day in a while.

It's been unseasonably hot lately. I've been trying to go for periodic walks. I don't mind the heat or the humidity so much as long as there's a haze to block some of the sun. The South Florida sun is brutal.

I live in a very strange spot. I'm surrounded by suburban development on every side, but I live on a private road next to what I assume are homesteaders of some kind which provides a buffer from the endless strip malls and housing developments all around. When I walk, until I get out to the main road, it's easy to forget where I am, and focus on the rustle of snakes and lizards in the foliage, the occasional butterfly or dragon fly, the egrets, the bluejays. I saw what I think was an Eastern Hognose the other day. It was all black, and so still I thought at first that it was dead until it decided it didn't like the creepy biped staring at it and noped out back into the trees.

I'm noticing how vegetal things smell when it's muggy out. It's not a pleasant smell, exactly, but it's earthy and soothing in its way.

Yesterday there was a thunderstorm with lots of wind, and then it... snowed today? I think? For about three seconds? We were watching it rain and then the rain very briefly looked like snow and not rain, and then it stopped and a few minutes later we had blue skies. This is pretty normal spring weather here—maybe a little early for thunderstorms, but only a little, and I remember occasional Passover snow when my brother and I were kids.

Last weekend J and I did indeed walk to the Brooklyn Museum and had some very nice weather for it; we took off our jackets for the walk there but were glad to have them on the way back when the clouds came in. I took lots of photos of flowers and flowering trees: cherries, magnolias, forsythia, bluebells/grape hyacinths, and more. My kid, who loves yellow, is thrilled that yellow tulips are blooming outside our house. The last photo in that album is the trees on Eastern Parkway, which don't flower but get fuzzy green halos of new leaves.

For anyone who wants to enjoy Brooklyn's local weather from afar, on Sunday at 3 p.m. Eastern there will be a FaceBook Live virtual tour of the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.

Thanks to

tozka and

mific for posting here while I've been off in the lands of Real Life. I hope to get back to posting more and I encourage others to do the same! Even if the only weather you're enjoying right now is through your window.

We had a very warm February and all the trees are blooming much earlier than usual, even though March weather has felt much more traditionally Marchish with a lot of chilly rain. Brooklyn has many cherry and magnolia trees as well as the Callery pears that are common throughout NYC. I love them all (even the invasive species). I took a couple of photos of pear trees last week on a bright sunny day. The enormous puffs of white flowers are dramatic, but I like them better when they've leafed out and some of the petals have fallen and they're a beautiful mix of white and fresh green.

This weekend J and I are hoping to walk down to the Brooklyn Museum—a long walk from our house—and see the cherry trees out front. There are two different species of cherries there and I think the early bloomers will be just past their peak and the late bloomers still just budding, but it's our 14th wedding anniversary and we always celebrate with cherry trees, whatever state they're in. (We honeymooned in Japan in cherry blossom season.) Ideally we'll have decent weather for the walk; highs are in the mid-50s, which feels cool for this time of year, and the 10-day forecast shows a lot of cloud cover and at least a chance of showers every day. I don't mind being rained on, but I'm not fond of being cold. In a few months we'll get warm summer rain, which is my favorite.

A gloomy morning for the first Daylight Savings Day; it's California cold at 54* and overcast. The air smells a little like it might rain, but I think that's just because the humidity is at 82%. Luckily, the weather app says it should get sunnier and slightly warmer (a whole 67*) after 11:00 am!

I had someone booked for garden work this morning, then discovered there was rain due in the afternoon. Well, fine.

And then this morning the rain radar showed serious rain on the way. So I rescheduled the work for Sunday morning instead.

Weather

Except it passed south by about 5km, and we got a light smattering which is drying up even now. *sulks* They got HEAPS about 5-10km south of us, although we have some on the way this afternoon at least.

Laneway beneath a leaden sky.

Cool today - 24C in my area. Smoke haze wasn't heavy, but there's the faintest hint of it in the air. You can see it in the faintest orange tinge to the light.

Tomorrow is due to be a heatwave. All hands on deck, batten down the hatches.

Can't take a photo yet, sun's not up and it's still dark sky out. But there's a nice thin coating of snow on the farm. 29*F and light snow's supposed to end at 5:30am. We're not having an "Over The River And Through The Woods" kind of "...white and drifting snow," but it's still fun to see.

Here's a photo to the sky east of us, snow clouds over the Stillwater Range, the sun went behind clouds just as I hit the digital shutter, so you miss the intense contrast of cottonwoods against the dark clouds.

Yesterday was a nice late-autumn day, with increasing clouds. Late night, the wind kicked up, and around 3 am, rained for about 20 minutes. Now, it's a damp chilly morning (about 40F when I poked outside, shortly after sunrise) and mostly cloudy -- high today should be at least 10 degrees cooler than yesterday.

Season's achievement unlocked: small storm with strong cold font.

(To be clear: The storm in total is actually big -- we got just the small tail of it, down south here.)

It's supposed to clear a little, but not all the way before the next storm system moves through late tomorrow, with heavy rain likely on Thursday. We'll see what that means in practice, but it sounds like the snow levels will be most of the way down the mountains.

We got rain yesterday afternoon - not in the bushfire areas, but in the Sydney basin.

Unfortunately, geographically, the Sydney basin does not also contain the Sydney basin's water supply, so the rain yesterday washed mostly into the gutters and stormwater drains.

Weather

But it made for some pretty afternoon light!

We're in the middle of our first major winter storm systems of the season (it's actually two lows chained together). Rainfall throughout the city has been .8" to 1.25" over the last 24 hours, after about .5" the previous night, and about 2" up on the mountains. It's early enough, though, that it's not cool enough for snow except on the very peaks.

Traffic this morning was not pretty, though at least for major rush hour, rain was on pause between bands of clouds. Our house and the couple blocks around it was without power when we woke up -- took a couple hours for repair crews to fix things.

Rain showers likely through the day, trailing off tonight, but the bulk of precipitation should already have fallen. It'll be chilly tonight, after the two cold fronts moving through. If it were a month later, we'd have frost tomorrow morning, but for now it'll just be time for jackets at dawn.

Through a rainy car windshield, grey clouds over a long straight highway, with patchy grass and evergreen trees to either side

It was cold and wet for our trip home today. The car kept alerting me that there might be ice on the road, though it never got quite that cold. (I was driving, so X kindly took this photo as we were somewhere between Southampton and Sayville.) I didn't wear fleece tights under my jeans because I knew we would mostly be indoors, but we spent about half an hour on an outdoor train platform and BRRRR. I couldn't sit on the metal bench on the platform because it was too cold. Very glad for my parka.

This photo happens to mostly show evergreens, but there was still some nice fall foliage here and there, though it was clearly a few weeks past peak. Soon there will be only bare branches and pine needles.

Current Mood: cold
