I'm sorry to upset anyone, but it's been around 30 deg c here, I feel sorry for Aussie who are in the 40s. Hard to sleep at night.

I stumbled upon this cool video on heating in -40C in Russia. The guy does a great job of explaining thermal mass, and the importance of creating a draft in a chimney. An interesting watch, IMO.
We rarely get these here but we just got one of those Federal emergency warnings about flash floods, especially for those in the recent burn areas.
I've been hiding under the bed RF...wow, that sound and light show is sure not the norm in these here parts.

Same up here, cd. We'd get them in OH, but they are rare in MA. The first or second summer we lived here, a real doozy of a line moved through. Before the rain started, the sky was that weird yellow-gray, with black thunder clouds. The neighbor two doors up had lived in IL, so she knew what to expect. She and I were out in our front yards looking up and yelling back and forth, things like "this is so cool" and "you don't see this up here" when the neighbor between us (a native MA resident who had lived no where else at that point) came out yelling "what is happening? Is the world ending?". We laughed, then told her she'd be fine...just as huge raindrops started falling and we all scampered into our respective houses. Now I watch the show through the ceiling in the sun room.I had forgotten that you SoCal people don't get many thunderstorms. I love them, as long as a) I don't have to drive in them, and b) NO HAIL.

It's almost mild here - 31 degrees right now! We'll have a few more days of increasingly warmer temps, until we reach the top and slide back down the hill. By the end of February, it'll probably all end up "average".
Cloudy and 46°F here, too Good to see you back, Cindy [emoji2]It's cloudy and 46 here right now. My son and his family live in Sioux City, and they had schools closed, work shut down, and no mail for 2 or 3 days last week. Glad I'm down here instead.

I LOVE thunderstorms. And they're extra specially terrifying up here on top of the mountain. Almost no time between the strike and the crack of thunder.
A tree in the woods behind me got hit and cracked in half last summer. I'll try to take a pic later.
Florida gets some fun thunder heads. Here's one from Ft Myers last summer as we headed back to Sanibel.
