In California, if it rains between the end of April and the end of November, the event will make front-page news.

Thunderstorms are so rare I think I've seen two in over forty years there...But they were incredible storms...Hundreds of lightening bolts in the sky at the same time, continuously for over 40 minutes...Accompanied by hail like I had never seen before....So...

I'm enjoying these storms here. It's not a long-holiday weekend for me....Just an annoying traffic congestion event... I grocery shopped early in the week.

I feel for those who have planned on a long weekend getaway and the weather has ruined their plans. I'm reminded that in New England, you'd better have a back-up plan for that outdoor wedding. A forty degree drop in temperature in 24 hours has me searching for the sweatshirt I took off three weeks ago...And I may have to put socks on.
