It was a rainy night last night. We got 3" by the automatic meter system, except the manual rain gauge says we got 4.25". And we just got about another inch in the last hour. And more rain is on its way. The Weather Channel says we have between 80% and 40% rain over the next 5 days. So it looks like we've hit a wet patch. Its been lightning and thunder, hard to sleep at night. So far all the rain has been either late in the day or at night. Its the night rain that makes it so hard to sleep. But the plants are getting a good watering. That's the good news. And the temperatures are below 90, so its humid during the day, but at least its not as bad as it could be.
What a lovely cold front. We hit a low of 21 last night. They had forecast a low of 26, but we hit that around 4-5 PM yesterday. But this morning is lovely, and we've warmed up to all of 31degrees by 11:30 AM. Tonight they are saying a low of 31 degrees with a 50% chance of rain/freezing rain. And we're supposed to hit a high of 47 today. So it will be a roller coaster weather the next few days. And again, no gardening for me. Glad the plants are covered. Just a side note, I've already had a few irises blooming, purple irises.
