Rain and thunder
Talking to all these folks returning form Maine, Minnesota and elsewhere and then seeing the official forecast calling for cold, 40 degree weather made me laugh.
We don’t know what cold is round here. But we will see some 20s at night.
And, it did just thunder. To many of us that means snow within 10 days or so. So maybe winter is here after all.
Rainwise, we’ve got about a half-inch on the gauge at noon and more on the way.
