Storming

Timothy Price50 Comments

Dawn

Stormfront that blew in from the north.

After partly cloudy skies all day, I watched the storm rolling in from the north on my way home. Not long after I got home, heavy rain, lighting, and thunder let loose for about 45 minutes. I did various chores around the house while the storm raged on, but as soon as it let up, I got on my bike and rode in light rain and cold wind under dark clouds that lit up in the southwest as dusk descended.

My two-mile turnaround is a little way past the bridge.

As darkness fell, the moon showed through the clouds.

The clouds looked menacing, hanging over the darkness as I rode home.

  2. We started the day in LV, sunny, but cool. Coming home was another story, being delayed with a ground hold in Denver due to snow. It was mostly a rain/snow mix this afternoon, more rain than snow. Tonight is cloudy and cold.

      • A new day, sunny and bright, but cool. After Thanksgiving, at week’s end, we’re supposed to get 4-8 inches of snow. But, of course, we’ll see if it happens. Rain is a whole lot better than snow.

        O/T: I have no idea what’s going on with WP. The gremlins are bad this time round. Got locked out twice, don’t know who’s receiving a new post notice or who’s on the follower list. They suggested contacting a few on the follower list to see if they are subscribed. To me, it seems to be lame idea when you have more than 700 followers at last count, and many of them inactive or gone away completely. That goes along with the inability of liking a post, or commenting. It kinda leaves you wondering, “are they still around?” Anyway, another day there too.

        • The forecast is for colder temperatures after Thanksgiving. We’ll see if any rain or snow comes with it.

          I’ve given up on worrying about WP shenanigans. I get knocked off blogs, and end up following blogs that I never followed. Since I’ve had reports of followers having trouble commenting on my posts, my comments are at about half, but spam comments, which used to be hundreds a day, have drop to one or two a week.

          My comments were at 99K for the longest time. I was watching for 100K, then the count jumped from 99K to 101K. The counter apparently got stuck on 99K and then after a WP update, jumped right over 100K.

          I’m building a new website for the office on a self-hosted WP site on one of our virtual servers. WP makes it easy to keep the website updated, but I have broken the site many times, getting the WP white screen of death, and had to go through a recovery process each time to restore the site. My tech at our ISP was trying to get some things to work, also, when he broke the site and had to recover it. I guess that’s the way of WordPress.

          • I think a few of your comments were flagged here as spam, so I think you won’t be getting any new post notices. I can try to add you back to see if it works, or you may need to bookmark us.

  11. Roiling conjured clouds and a beautiful golden end to the storm, Tim. Glad you are getting some rain down there.

    Up here, I saw the moon briefly before sundown, when a thick bank of fog crawled down over the surrounding hills and swallowed us whole. Right on 32 here this morning.

    • Thanks, Lavinia. 27 degrees outside 57 inside when I got up. The cats were determined to keep me in bed this morning.
