Yesterday the accuweather forecast for Tuesday, today, said that the storm coming through would bring temperatures down so that highs today would be around 49 or lower. It rained most of the night long.
Right now it’s 50-degrees, very breezy, balmy, and the current day forcast says a high of 57 degrees. Hourly outlook has the temperature going down to the high-40’s over the next couple of hours, then climbing up to the high-50’s.
I’ve been outside already, I heard metal roofing flapping around and had to be sure it wasn’t the Leghorns SuperYard roof floating around the yard. That would mean possible white birds getting out and I’m not up to that chase. I mean I’d have to do it, but it’d be so hard. I’m still regaining energy from Sunday’s sickness. [The sound I heard was loose roofing material that was on the ground near the fence to the west. One of them ended up near the deck … so yes, the breezy gust were moving metal roofing around the yard, ‘quite a few feet’.]
Waking up today I do feel better than I did waking up yesterday. That’s a plus!
So it’s a very breezy day. The last few have been pretty breezy with lake wind advisories being released by the weather officials. We don’t have a lake nearby that we traverse upon 😉 but a lake wind advisory always means gusty breezyness that we need to make sure the hennie pennie roofs are well weighted down for.
Whoa! We just had a gust roll over the house, the direction it took made the house a wind break for the backyard … that’s good. It was a very powerful gust, the house was rattling. I guess I should trudge out back with some more firewood to put on the SuperYard roof.

Sounds like March winds are upon you. Our weather in Wisconsin took a dive and it is currently pretty cold out and a bit breezy. Yesterday the temperatures fell all day and the wind made the wind chill near 0. Today is blue sky and sunny, but cold cold cold, only predicted to get up to the mid to high 20s. We put our house on the market today. I have not told anyone at work about it so I can’t say much more so I can post this.
March winds … they come and go here. Really, it’s more like October winds … they are more normal here, I think.
Growing up in PA it was the classic March “in like a Lion out like a Lamb” or visa versa.
That hasn’t held up to mean much of anything since moving South in 1979.
The other thing about overcast skies … if there’s “enough blue to patch a dutch boys pants…” that meant something in PA. I grew up with that, did you?
It means nothing to my Dutch husband, who grew up in MI and never heard of it before me telling it to him.
Anyhow, it means nothing in FL and really not much of anything in GA either. Blue comes and goes and seeing a nice patch of it signifies only that there’s a nice patch of blue, overcast may stay around, rain or not, or clear out.
Of course I only lived in PA for 13 years, my first years of life, so that was impact on me, but I have little older-years experience parsing these cute phrases and ideas about the weather where the phrases were used, so I can’t compare them to things in The South.
I see here that I know I grew up in The North, and then lived in a third-world-country for so many years (S. Florida) — it feels mostly now that I didn’t really have much time in PA, only a short 13 years that was less than the 8+ years we’ve been in GA. Time up North compacted into barely nothing, and time down here has stretched out into a long continuous strand … but time itself has sped up over the years, of course, as it does for adults.
This is all just par for the course anyhow, as time is elastic for me, entirely so, stretched out, contracted in, in and out, and never the same. 🙂
Which brings me to ask you Becky, have you ever done any of the “personality” type test, to see what your MTBI Type is, for instance?
I’m curious as to what my families types are … I only know of me being interested in personality stuff.
Anyhow, it’s me: INTP … and what I’m getting at about “time is elastic” is the P part, that’s “right-brain dominant”.
That’s what I’m interested in finding out mostly, are my siblings right or left brain dominant. I is for “introvert” and that’s me, and I’m not guessing that it’s you, you definitely seem to be that as well. I won’t guess about it though, let you tell me, if you can. And I won’t guess about our siblings 🙂
I have taken tests, I can share results with you once I dig them out. I am very close to both right and left brain, and very much introverted. I will discuss more later. Love you, sister.
