Solar storm going on this weekend, supposed to be a severe one. The aurora may be visible even as far south as CO and MO!



Unfortunately I'm looking forward to a cloudy, rainy weekend.

Is mid-May when residents of the Maritime provinces generally consider summer to have begun? When we were in Southern New Hampshire (~200 miles south of Moncton), and even though all the trees wouldn't be leafed-out for a few more weeks, that's about when we considered summer to be starting. Of course, that didn't mean it couldn't still snow.

The Victoria Day long weekend marks the first day of the mass exodus of RVs and campers to their nesting grounds.

Morning run in the fog. I clipped the flashing LEDs from my MTB on my jacket.

A bit of a heat wave -- a couple of days of 90 degrees or so (breaking records for the date) and then forecast to be back to reasonable temps. A rest from the rain, too.

Was in Suburban Atlanta, Wednesday to Friday. They had some fairly severe storms move through those three days. Encountered more storms along the I-20 West corridor from Atlanta to West of Birmingham, AL. Weather wise, wasn't any major difference to what's occurring at home in the Ark-La-Tex region. Did see a lot of downed trees along I-20, keeping Western Alabama and Eastern Mississippi Highway Department Crews busy!

Looking forward to the long weekend (Canadian Victoria Day) this weekend. Supposed to be warm and mostly clear. I've been procrastinating on doing some work on the car so it will be nice enough to finally do it outside on the driveway.

Houstonians, please check in.

That weather was insane in New Orleans last night. 12 hours no power. I don’t know what was scarier the hum of the train or the hum of the transformers blowing at midnight. Thankful for generators.

Glad to hear you have one; they're practically a requirement in some parts of the country.

We once went 3 days without power in Northern New England. After that, we had a whole-house generator and automatic transfer switch installed and subsequently sailed right through a 12-day outage after an ice storm.

Except for this, which took some time to clear before a crew from Central PA could reach us and restore power on Xmas Eve:
