Had our home windows open today for the first time in 2024. The high here was 72F, and 83F down in SC at our tree farm. Thankfully the wind finally died down.....

Mid-70s here today. We're about to get slammed with a nasty T-storm, though. And still some twisters dancing around to the west of us. This house has a separate foundation for the garage. Would have been a great place for the builders to put a small tornado shelter as it would have been accessible from our furnace room in the basement. Too late to do that now, though.

One of my design goals for the Garage Mahal is to have a walk-under automotive service pit cut in the slab when the concrete is poured. It will be labeled "tornado/storm shelter" on the blueprints, to avoid hassles with residential zoning.....

Just got a tornado warning for a tornado capable cell in the county, but it's well south of us and moving east, so it should miss us. This is screwing with my planned workout time though. Bah!

Charleston is just a tad outside the total eclipse path. We'll see 99.63% totality. If it's going to be clear, I may drive a bit east to get into the totality zone.

The eclipse 7 years ago wasn't total in this area. You needed to be in far southern IL for that. Those folks will see their second total eclipse in 7 years. Pretty rare.

Some pics I took of the 2017 eclipse.

70's today, shorts weather but reality check coming next week. I spend 3 hours working on a massive infestation of Lady Beetles. I know it's good luck but I've had all the good luck I can tolerate this year. If it looks like this next year I will have to look at profession help.
Any suggestions appreciated.

39F this morning well before sunup but forecast for the 60s this afternoon and 70s for the next few days. Of course, Mother Nature can throw us a curve ball, but it appears that spring has arrived.

Today was 71F with showers. The pollen level is still very high.

At least the car in the parking lot was cooler than the 94F yesterday

Finished cleaning up all the mess from the Santa Ana winds. Today is cloudy and 60°F right now with a high forecasted to be 62. A partially cloudy day and then some sunny days ahead in the mid 70s.

When I left, everything was green and now we have snow banks... It looks like we had lots of snow while I was away.

Anyway, this afternoon we will be celebrating St-Partick's at a local pub. Good thing I keep a spare liver.
