The wind reached 100 kmh yesterday with rain going sideways, broken umbrellas littering the street and sticking out of garbage cans, small branches and limbs joining twigs and leaves on the sidewalks.<br /><br />Today we woke to rain, which has been heavy since Tuesday night, and then hail, then more rain, hail, rain, but suddenly a pause. Blue sky came back after missing for days, with white clouds slipping out from under the gray ones, shafts of light warming buildings and making dull muddy pools glittering mirrors ruffled by winds. Hail came right after, and rain, then slush, and the sun again. And so it went through the sunshine hours. These changes were accompanied by winds gusting to 50 or 70 kmh. The high? Maybe 10, but it sank to 3 overnight.<br /><br />Tomorrow we may have a more settled day, once the rain and snow stop. Then there'll be sunshine and mid-teens temperatures. Such beautiful skies (if the forecast is right) will seem fresher and more like autumn thanks to the wild, driven wetness of these last two days. It's the combination of rain and sun (though I favour the sun) that makes autumn what it is, for meJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813604798802451639noreply@blogger.com
