Howling wind, pouring rain for most of yesterday. Temperatures 10
degrees colder than the day before. Wind so strong it picked up a patio umbrella that was retracted and bound, and deposited it on my roof!

I'm going to wait until the ground dries before I go up there to
retrieve it.

This weekend promises to be back to normal, with higher temperatures and
sunny skies.

Folks in the North Island of New Zealand have been having flooding issues, near Taupo I think, but here it's a high of 23 Celcius today and sunny blue skies.. Summer has almost arrived here albeit about 6-7 weeks later than usual.

We've had some fun weather lately - back in January we got pelted with snow of the likes I haven't seen in *YEARS*. We're talking half-foot of snow. And we might get more soon.

I for one, love it. I know and can empathize with those who don't (believe me, driving must be hell I bet) but I take pride in calling my self a 'Yuki-Onna' (Japanese 'snow woman' youkai).

Born at the right time to look back.

None of the norms seem to be applying - most of our winters fall into El
Nino or La Nina, depending on the trends of the jetstream - one's an exceedingly wet winter, the other is a late, dry winter. We had a wet
one last year, this year may turn out to be a dry one. Worrisome, since California depends on snowpack runoff for their water, and Trump
released 2 billion gallons of water from central valley federal water
sources, ostensibly to address the fires in Southern California, hundreds
of miles away. The water never made it to SoCal and ended up flooding
already wet farming areas. We'll miss that water come summertime.
