Who asked Santa for drought relief?




Okay, I barely have time to Tick today, but just had to Tock about our upcoming
rain events.

And it is barely after 6am and I haven't had my Sanka yet, so go easy?

So we get our first rains today into tomorrow, then another system for Friday and
Saturday, and yet another on Monday.

Heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud!



Now through all these systems, given that it IS December, there's always a thought
of the frozen stuff. No, not frozen corn...freezing rain, sleet, snow? As I've
repeatedly said, not enough cold air around to worry about such things.



Our only brush with excitement comes Monday and Tuesday when some severe weather
could occur down in SE OK. Nothing to worry about just yet, but best keep our
eyes on it as it draws near.





No real cold air to deal with until later next week, it looks like, when we
could get some arctic air in here. That'll have to be watched, but we do see
cooler weather as we get later into next week regardless.



Still too far out from Christmas to make any guesses on the weather. They'd
be "educated" guesses, but that education tells me not to go there just yet.

Keep your fingers crossed!
