We are in the middle of a three to four day period of rainy weather here
in the northeast. I was commenting to my wife that it's the first
period of extended rain that we've had all summer. Prior to the last
couple of days I can only recall a couple of days that it rained but it
was short lived, not lasting more than a half day or so.

Also absent this summer were any heavy duty thunderstorms. Usually
there are several during the course of the summer but this year we may
have had one or two and they were not strong at all.

Could be a fluke. Hope it's not a sign of a severe winter.

As you probably know we spent our summer on Long Island and the Cape
Cod Islands. We thought the weather was a bit on the cool side and
by early September were ready to head south again, somewhat emboldened
by the lack of heavy hurricane activity in the tropics. All went
well until we got into Virginia and the Carolinas, and then we had
about 10 steady days of cool wind and rain. Working around the rain
we managed to get south of Charleston, SC and at the first sign of a
good weather window went offshore for a 36 hour marathon run down the
coast. We pulled into Port Canaveral about noon time today and now
we are back in classic Forida summer weather with heat, humidity and
scattered showers that come and go.



I've heard that the coastal south has had a lot of rain. My older son
lives in Mt. Pleasant, SC. His house is about 3 miles from the Isle of
Palms. When asked how the summer has been, he says, "wet".

We went right through there a few days ago and it was *very* wet. It's
a beautiful morning here on the Indian River just a few miles south of
the space center.
