Geesh I can’t believe it’s already the weekend. Time sure has flown this week for sure. Today my mom and I are going to go a different zoo then I took the kids last weekend. I hope I survive the humidity as it’s been HORRIBLE the last week or two. I lost count. My poor little rain gauge is thirsty! No rain in sight until Thursday now. And even then it doesn’t look like a big chance right now. Sigh… In case your wondering why I have a rain gauge I am a volunteer weather observer. I report all the rain and snow totals for my town to the National Weather Service.  The leaves are falling from the trees now and the colors are starting to slowly change outside. It is starting to look so pretty out. Fall is my favorite time of year. Next week after school Dakota and Brittany and I might go apple picking. The place we go to have the BEST caramel apples.  Read more...

I was on twitter today and I follow one othe guys from the National Weather Service and found this little tidbit of info interesting. Assuming that the few day left in June we have no severe weather it will set a record for the first time in 30 years for nearly nonexhistent severe weather. The only other time there was no severe weather was in June of 1989. Hmmm that to me is 20 years…. Oh well I just thought it was interesting. It has been rather dry here. Little bit of rain here and there. I am jumping for joy as I HATE severe weather. I am a nervous wreck when it comes to storms. Well I have gotten a little better. So I thought this useful info was interesting.  Read more...
