The Boston Globe reports that the persistent rains here have reversed the severe-drought conditions in Massachusetts for the first time in two years.

Here we are hoping that the rain will be enough to put a damper (ahem) on the gypsy moth caterpillars. Apparently it may cause a virus that will kill many of them before they chomp on the leaves. Trees in some parts of the state could be defoliated for the third consecutive year.

Well, people talk about the weather,
but the weather knows better.
Hereabouts I hear many complaints that we go straight
from winter into summer.
That is not the case today:

It's well above freezing,
it is anything but hot,
and the rain is a gentle soaking one.
Sounds and feels like spring to me. And I'll take it.

Hey GNU!
Are you having spring weather up there,
as opposed to summer?

We are in eastern Massachusetts, spring I mean,
with chilly nights and damp grey days.

But the heat is supposed to catch up to us next weekend.

keberoxu... In Moncton, NB.ca, it's presently (almost 1PM) cloudy and    9C with wind of 20-30kph. I am LOVIN' IT! Got the heat pump on, although I have refused to do so for a while. 3C and clear tonight so we'll see how my neighbours' bedding plants make out if there is no wind. Fools! Full moon is Friday and I told them two weeks ago not to put in annuals from the nursery before close to the full moon. But, they know all about the weather and I don't... according to them. Fools.

Forecast says 28C on Thursday. But, I have a heat pump for that. >;-)

Good for you, gnu.
You were gnashing your teeth a few weeks ago when the warm weather kicked in too soon for your liking.
But hopefully your esteemed mother has ceased to live in dread, for the moment, of winter storms.

The wind is kicking up here in eastern Massachusetts as well, there is no shortage of rain, and everything here is green enough to blind you. That will change when the heat arrives and the green grass turns yellowish brown on the lawns, as ever.

We had about ten days straight of rain, during which time my roof sprang a leak. Then the rain stopped for about three days, which was just long enough for me to repair the roof. Then it started back raining and will probably keep it up for five or six more days. Thankfully, I have a good long book to read.

Glorious sunshine and wonderful hot weather along the UK south coast today - 29C will do me.

As if it weren't already rainy enough, now we have Tropical storm Cindy promising to dump five or six more inches on us over the next couple of days. My pond will overflow. My driveway will be a river. The bridge on the south end of our road will be underwater, so we'll have to detour north and double back on roads with higher bridges.

Fortunately, we aren't close enough to the storm's center for wind to be a problem, just lots of rain.

The effects of TS Cindy were pretty much as anticipated except that the cumulative rainfall was probably well over six inches. All area creeks and rivers are well out of their banks. The roof on my pottery studio sprung a leak and brought down a chunk of ceiling drywall. No big deal. I built it, I can fix it. A tree fell on my neighbor's fence allowing some of his cattle to escape and wander about on my property, but they're safely back home now. It could have been worse.

Today is supposed to be cloudy but dry, with the usual 50% chance of afternoon thunder showers resuming tomorrow.
