Like a Zonie, after a couple days of rain I'm bored with it looking like Washington state. 😅  We are long overdue, late Monsoon start, spotty which makes it a joke about the percent being 40%, which really means 40% of the area will get measurable rain to the hundreths.  I'm good with a shy 1" yesterday after sunset.

There is a hill with radio towers on top, clouds are low.  *Could* get sno higher elevation tonight.  Second day this Winter with the wood stove going, and starting in the morning not end of the day.

I've been doing something related with models!  In my search for landscaping rocks, have sampled some natural river sand, and used a magnifying glass to find cool pebbles, to add to my California Pit Stop diorama built years ago.  Rushed that project before a GSL (not the last), was never happy with the foreground.  So I'm not totally out of the picture.

Unending rain. Standing joke in this metro area is that this place is a desert, it never rains here. But in the last 3 days, the accumulation has been around an inch and three quarters according to my plastic rain gauge, and then today, add a bit over three quarters of an inch to that pile. More on the way for overnight ...

As of 7AM it's raining and foggy.  I'm close to what Russell got, just put the glass rain gauge away because it's getting near freezing at night.  Been having fires in the woodstove most of the day so I'm okay with it looking like WA state.  Got a walk in a couple days ago.

Clear blue sky dawning this am at a balmy 10f. Rest of the week around zero overnights and maybe 20s daytime.

Off and on sun and clouds with a brief but heavy snow squall. And with a wind chill of 27 degrees to boot. Despite that, I had to get a couple of errands out of the way.

This morning it was 36ºF when I arrived at this cruise, we Zonies were shivering. 🙄  Boring clear sky, low humidity, so no frost on the windshield.

Today started out with boring clear sky, t-shirt temp by Noon.  Wanted to go on another rock harvesting mission, early afternoon.

After several hours, clouds had moved in.  I turned around and headed back.  When I was heading out, stopped, and decided to take a side road.

Which led to far from boring sky!  No rain forecast.

Woke up to light flurries this morning and it sort of got heavier as the day went on. Only 2" to 3" but everyone seems to be trying to run into each other on the freeway and I70 is closed on the Mo. side of the metro. I on the other hand have decided to read a good book and make sure the little birds have a full feeder. There are advantages to being retired and nowhere that I have to be.

Freezing rain after 2-3 inches of fresh Lake Effect snow overnight.  In weather like this I'm glad I work from home.   At least 6 inches on the ground now.  And my Jeep sitting in the driveway covered in snow.

Pretty wet and very windy 

Same by me, the past 2 days were a washout. 30 F this morning, the gutter cleaning crew will be here today. The landscapers should be here as well, to do the fall clean up. Then I can shut off my outside water.
