    Outside My Window ~ 10.14.2012

    Outside my window…is a beautiful, fall day ~ albeit a warm one.  The temperature is 71°F  at 12:50 p.m. and it is suppose to get a bit higher than I would prefer.  The high is forecast to be 75°F today, blue skies, mostly sunny and a very low chance of rain.  Our next chance of rain is tomorrow evening with a scattered chance of thunderstorms ~ and a forecast high of 77°F for the day.  We will slip back into the low to mid 60’s for a couple of days and then back into the mid 70’s.  These roller coaster temperatures have been happening this past week during the day…

    Outside My Window ~ 10.7.2012

     Outside my window…is what I would consider a typical fall day in Southeast Virginia.  This morning started out cloudy and cool at 54°F….the rain came about 10:30 this morning and at times it was heavy with some thunder and lightening.   Right now, at 2:30 this afternoon, we are at 57°F {our forecast high for the day} and cloudy.  Winds are from the north at about 10 mph and the humidity is 83%.   We have another chance for scattered thunderstorms early this evening and shower after dark.  Our forecast low for this evening is 48°F….now that is what I’m talking about.  🙂  I’m so ready for cooler weather, especially after we…

    Outside My Window ~ 9.30.2012

    Outside my window…is a beautiful fall morning.  Right now at 10:45 this morning, we are 67°F with sunshine and blue skies.  The humidity is a bit high at 61% but it is tolerable because the temperature is at a decent level.  Our forecast high today is 73°F with light winds and a very low probability of rain…you couldn’t ask for a better day.  Tomorrow will be much like today with a greater chance of afternoon showers.  Tuesday  will be warmer with a high chance of thunderstorms.  The temperature for the rest of the week will be much warmer until a weekend cool down.  I don’t know about anyone else but…

    Outside My Window ~ 9.16.2012

    Outside my window…is a cloudy but mild evening at about 68°F at 9:00.  We had a slight chance for rain this evening with a forecast low of 61°F.  Our high today was a beautiful 75°F with the sun ducking in and out of clouds all day.  There is a local pollen alert for our area ~ high in weeds and grass….which kind of sucks because my allergies have really been bothering me since the end of last month, first of this month.  Fall can be a hard month on me as far as allergies go.  It looks like we have a decent week coming up with the exception of Monday…

    Outside My Window ~ 9.9.2012

    Outside my window…is a dark and chilly evening.  Well, chilly might be a stretch but compared to recent evenings, it is chilly.  Right now, at 9:00 p.m., it is 66°F with clear skies.  Our forecast low for the night is 61°F and continued clear skies.  We did get some stormy weather last night when the cool front moved through….yesterday was hot and humid, today was cool, sunny and beautiful.  While there were some white, puffy clouds throughout the day, we reached a high of 78°F.  The next ten days have been forecast to be much the same as today and this evening ~ a teaser for fall or the new…

    Outside My Window ~ 9.2.2012

    Outside my window…is another rainy Sunday evening.  Rain…more rain.  It appears as if Isaac remnants  have finally moved far enough east to impact our area.  I saw a fairly confusing forecast earlier this week that said part of the remnants would split from the main storm and move east {what we are experiencing now} and the rest would follow {expected tomorrow}.  Our forecast is for scattered storms for the week.  I’m not sure how much I believe them….last Sunday it said we would be in the mid 80’s this past week…they were wrong, it was more like the very high 80’s and low 90’s with a heavy dollop of humidity…

    Outside My Window ~ 8.26.2012

    Outside my window…at 5:45 this evening it is pouring rain, thunder and lightening…..for the last hour.  We are currently at 75°F with a flood advisory until 7:00 this evening….and a pollen alert?  Seriously….pollen?  The rain is forecast to stop around 8:00 this evening.  There is a section of my street that is already flooding again. Yesterday morning we received three inches of hard rain in three hours and it flood a good deal of our region.  When I last checked early yesterday we had received 3.54 inches of rain….I don’t know what the final tally was for my area, let’s just say I have two very full rain barrels.  …

    Outside My Window ~ 8.19.2012

    Outside my window…is the close on another weekend.  We are over half way through August and closing in on Labor Day….soon it will be Fall and before we know it, winter and the end of the year.  I know I have said it before but I can’t recall having this feeling that the year has just zoomed by.  Today was a rainy day….the morning started out nice enough with the temperature around 73°F when I went out for my morning run/walk at 8:30.  It was sunny to begin with and the clouds began to move over near the end of the walk.  Not too long after the rain began and…

    Outside My Window ~ 8.13.2012

    Outside my window…is the closing hours of Monday evening.  Yep, you usually see this on a Sunday however internet issues aggravated me enough last night I decided I would just walk away.  Sometimes that is the best thing….especially when working with electronics that would not handle being manhandled very well.  😀  It wasn’t that extreme but just enough to get under my skin so I walked away.  Right now we are at about 75°F with about 88% humidity….everything should be nice and wet tomorrow morning when I go out.  Our forecast low for this evening is 72°F, close to our temperature right now.  Today started out at 70°F and worked…

    Outside My Window ~ 8.5.2012

    Outside my window…is sunshine, blue skies, white puffy clouds and a lot of humidity and heat.  A lot.  Currently at nearly 1:00 p.m we are at 88°F with about 59% humidity.  It feels like 95°F outside right now….I would say that is about right.  Our forecast high temperature for today is 89°F with an isolated chance of thunderstorms.  There is a light breeze currently blowing but it is not cooling things off all that much.  Tomorrow will be about as warm with a greater chance of thunderstorms and then we will cool off to the low 80’s for a few days. I am thinking about…how once upon a time I…
