All pegasi temporarily grounded

Due to possibly dangerous weather. Here's the view looking west from where my car was parked at the library, 5:05 pm today. I thought it looked really threatening, and so dramatic I just had to snap this.

In contrast, the sky to the east was blue and sunny with little puffy clouds. I was sure I'd get rained on before reaching home, but it never rained nor did it even get windy. There is rain on the forecast, though, with increasing probabilities through tomorrow night, then backing off again. Hooves crossed for better weather by the weekend, though.

We've been having some uncommonly mild weather for October. I doubt it'll last much longer, though.

We had that last week. Over here it is traditionally called "Indian Summer" and is a frequent warming period about a week long after the first frosts of the year. It didn't actually freeze here, but we got close for several nights. Then the sky cleared and we had a week of sunny, warm weather.

Now the rain has arrived. Fairly heavy tonight, with little wind. The rain on the roof woke me up and I'm sitting here listening to it.

We had the first bit of rain today since I moved here to Missouri. Probably the same weather afflicting you ... feels strange to be meteorlogically linked to you now, heh.

Started off with heavy showers this morning, then sun, then some of the scariest thunderstorms I've seen since my days living in Texas this afternoon and evening, with marble-sized hail. "Hail" in the Seattle area is more like what you might call sleet by comparison, never bigger than small pebbles.

You'll see plenty of thunderstorms in MO all right, and not a few tornado watches and warnings. Probably not so much snow as we get up here, though.

It's been raining quite hard here for an hour or more. The sound of it hitting the roof was keeping me awake so I got up to check for leaks. None found, thank goodness. NOAA says "less than a tenth of an inch overnight" but I'm sure we passed that easily.
