It was breezy in SC Saturday, then we had a 70% chance of rain overnight into Sunday. Got up Sunday morning to no rain at all, but plenty of wind all day. The temps dropped as the day went on, then down to 36 degrees last night, with 32 in some outlying areas. By Friday it's back up to 80. That's colder than anything we've seen up here so far this fall. Maybe I should cross South Carolina off the "maybe" list. :-) They say it might get down to 40 inland but we will be 50s at the crack of dawn. My only problem is the pool is getting cool. |

I didn't even know it was a named storm until I turned in the TV. It was just wind and rain. I guess anything that was going to get blown away blew away 6 weeks ago. It must have intensified as it worked it's way up the coast. It's being referred to as the "Surprise" storm around here, not due to the heavy rains but the 50 mph sustained winds and gusts over 80 mph. One place in New Hampshire recorded a 132 mph gust. Here in the city the gusts hit 72 kph this afternoon with some rain. last night I lashed the 10' long aluminum and plywood platforms to the staging I set up in front of the house re my painting project. Now I just need a few more nice dry days at 10 C or above so I can finish up. Over all we've had a very nice October. |
