There was one last .02″ of rain left to come, they said while it was sunny. Amended to, Advisory! Hail in Morgan Hill moving northwest, take cover.
No hail here, but a good half inch of bursts of rain with thunder and lightning. Dinner was a what can I cook the fastest with the fridge and freezer doors left closed as much as possible.
The power held after all.
What is it about a cold rainy day that begs not just for warm food but specifically a bowl of nice hot soup? The power (well yeah that too) of suggestion?
