3rd flooding event from rain in roughly 1 month here in Northern NJ. I think its time to head to higher ground.
Down here in the south...my concern this week was the fish in the pond deciding to see what was "outside the walls" when the yard became a pond. I'd say our yard never floods...but it was pretty darn wet the other day.
The biggest problem in January used to be keeping a hole in the ice for the fish to breathe.

Yesterday was in the mid 50âs. Today and tomorrow will be in the mid 40âs with another big rain storm Friday night into Saturday. Most rivers up here are at flood stage. Normally January is a dry month alcoholically and wetness wise up here. Then next week we will be in the 30âs with more snow to replace the stuff washed away Tuesday.

Next Monday and Tuesday, lows will be in the mid-teens, with highs below freezing. In Austin. Got an inexpensive electric blanket for the clowder of semiferal cats we feed for just such an occasion.
Iâm at 1 degree latitude ATM. Monsoon season, pouring rain this morning. A pleasant but warm 80 out there so shorts and sandals.
A week ago, down parkas in snowy Japan. A month before that, beachwear in tropical Australia.
Had to pack for anything and will be glad to offload the winter wear in a few weeks. Spring/summer in Europe.
Donât hate me because Iâm jet laggedâ¦

After getting 16â of snow Sunday Iâm about to get hit with 3â of rain with 40-50 MPH winds and flooding is expected. Tried to clean part of the roof today before the rain.
I hope the power stays on.
Yup... A Level 2-3 risk of severe storms is in effect today along with a Wind Advisory. Cloudy, windy and milder with showers and storms likely with some of the rain heavy along with the potential for flooding. Highs in the lower-mid 60s. We have multiple severe threats possible today with damaging winds, flooding and tornadoes possible. As of right now the severe threat window runs from now through about 9 PM. The Wind Advisory is in effect through 10PM with sustained winds of 20-25 mph along with gusts perhaps as high as 45 mph. Be prepared for power loss as some of the trees could be pushed around in the strong winds and impact powerlines.
