Just caught the weatherman... 2 tornado warnings south of me this evening... too far south to be of concern to me...

About 4 inches of rain so far today...

Weatherman said the big rains wouldn't be here until noon tomorrow! Oh Goody!

Sounds like the ducks will go on strike again1

Yeah, it's just a "practice" storm. Just enough to get people to top-off their generator gas supply that has been running the lawnmower for months.
{note to self: buy beer}

 

[jimLE]

Jim

 

[Peanut]

[Peanut]

@timmie Bummer... you could had some of my share last night... was up all night with flooding!

 

[Supervisor42]

Mississippi outbid us for it. Looks like they got their nickel's worth:

"A museum housing a collection of classic cars valued at $6 million, including a Lincoln once owned by Elvis Presley, was also heavily damaged by the winds in Tupelo.
Olga has dissipated but remnants are pushing north into Tennessee," Moore said.
On Saturday evening, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said strong winds caused about seven semi-trailer trucks to overturn on Interstate 40 in western Tennessee. The highway was closed for a few hours before reopening.
More than 46,000 customers remained without power in Mississippi, while 40,000 outages were reported in Tennessee.

 

[Terri9630]

Maybe the leaves will float away phideaux.

 

[phideaux]

Good morning this dreary cloudy Sunday.

I suppose we dodged a bullet.
We only got 3.6 inches of rain total.

The driveway and ground is now covered with wet leaves , as we did have 40 mph winds.

Yep, the drought is broken.
Pond level is up at least 6".

Good day to rest, after church.

We were out of town last week. Came home to find 3.30" in the rain gauge. Yesterday thru Thursday highs in the 70's, Friday thru Sunday lows in the 30's, highs in the 50's.

 

[hiwall]

Average rainfall here for the month of October is about 2 inches; this year we have received 7/100 of an inch.
Windy today with gusts here up to 45 mph. High was 52*
I did some mowing but my hat kept blowing off.

 

[phideaux]

Been raining ,slow rain, all day so far.
Suppose to get another 3" tonight.

They are predicting temps in the 20s at night this weekend

Guess I'll be firing up the stove.

I'm ready.

Weather man was wrong yesterday, said rains would start just after lunch. They started at midnight last night. I got a couple of small showers then nothing.

It started again about 6 this morning. I've gotten 3 inches since then... Still coming down.

This is the closest I get to fall colors this far south, a couple of maples...

Bottom left 2nd photo on a pressure treated wooden stand... my NWS approved rain gauge recommended by @Bacpacker It will measure down to 1/100 of an inch. I like measuring to that precision.

 

[LadyLocust]

It was 12* when I left for work this morning. Have I mentioned that I miss wood heat? I think the high today is supposed to be about 34* - haven't checked for a little while, but it was 30 when I last did.

I just heard and edited my post. Morning temp was 3 degrees. I think the high today was 18 degrees. Really unusual for October, but I think we are going to have a long cold winter.

I took a dog to the dog park this morning. It was still snowing a little, and it was a little chilly, but layers help. (Two pairs of pants and multiple shirts.) I also have some wonderful wool blend socks from Costco, around $18 for 6 pair. One pair of those socks in my Boggs boots. Then a warm jacket, a neck scarf, gloves and a hat. Dogs had so much energy and fun today. They all needed to get out and their humans as well. Took two more dogs out for a walk at 1:00. It was 11 degrees, but the sun was out and snow is melting. Took another dog to a dog park this afternoon, and again, so much energy and fun. It was cold out, but I was warm.

 

[Bacpacker]

We've had over an inch since 6 am this morning. More to come tonight. I read my gauge at 6 when I leave for work. Our high today was at midnight for 71. Lows in the 60's tonight. Temps dropping all day tomorrow to a low near freezing by sunrise Friday. Bouts of heavy rain tomorrow morning and afternoon. Maybe another 2" from that round.

Peanut, glad to see you got a rain gauge. I haven't found a better one yet for the money.
Have you signed up to report you precip totals with CoCoRahs?

 

[LadyLocust]

@Peanut I'm surprised by your flooding more than once. Is there a remedy (higher foundation?) or is it just par for course? It floods in your house? I hope you have platform house slippers
