Storms



Yesterday's Weather

The remnants of Hurricane Lee joined up with a low coming down from Greenland and lashed our world with rain and wind throughout the day yesterday. The wind was gusting over 50 knots yesterday afternoon and the rain was bucketing. While I was driving, I looked at the thermometer in the car which read 12C. I was thinking wow it feels much warmer, just as it clicked through from 12C to 16C, and topped out at 17C. Bizarre. We had more than 30 mm of rain over the course of the day. 

After the wettest July on record, I'm afraid we may be competing to establish a new record for September. I am sure glad we got the grapes picked before all this. Hurricane Nigel is mid-Atlantic and possibly heading our way for this weekend. What a nightmare.
