What can I say, it’s really a crummy day out there.  The rain began late yesterday afternoon and continued all night.  It’s still raining quite hard with no break.  What’s worse it that it is expected to continue all day today.  There was 0.98″ in my gauge at 8:45 this morning, and possibly up to another inch is expected before it comes to an end tonight.  I’ll be going into the hospital tomorrow for a total knee replacement, so will be out of touch for a little while.  At least the rain is supposed to end by then.  My weather station is now showing total rain amount of 1.23″.

Our 11AM temperature is 44°F (7°C), the humidity is 99% and skies are overcast with rain.  Winds are from the E at 4-9 mph, and the dew point is 44°F (7°C).  The pressure is 29.77 in (1008.1 mb) and steady.  Visibility is 4 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 50°F (10°C) and the overnight low was 43°F (6°C).  Average temps for this date are 55°F / 40°F.  Sunrise was at 8:01 AM and sunset will be at 6:38 PM.
