7/3/2012 7/04/2012 7:00 AM 2 0.00 M M A small group of dark, sullen cumulous clouds sauntered across Rock County about mid afternoon yesterday ( July 3 ). Like noisy playground bullies they announced their arrival with thunder (but no "light show"). One of the surly little things taunted us with a very light deposit of large, warm rain drops . . . enough to coat the back porch, but not enough to dampen the areas beneath deck chairs and table [ my term for the dry area is "rain shadow" ]. By the time I read the gauge this morning any hint of even a T-trace reading had long since returned to troposphere. No significant clouds on the radar in our area as this is being typed. Independence Day today! Very appreciative of all Patriots who spilled their blood, and their souls, on the Battlefield in order to sustain our Constitutional Freedoms. Very appreciative of those whose fight is in the Press who struggle mightily to shed light on the doings of those politicians who might well undo those same Freedoms.

Nor was there a single drop for the reporting period of 9-27 thru 0700 this morning. 'Was quite interesting to experience the rains in Punta Gorda, Florida. Charlotte County, in the area the locals call Southwest Florida. For the first two weeks we had rainfall of some sort; some of it was quite heavy in the form of thunderstorms. Warm rain, so if you got caught running to a store from the car, it didn't ruin your day. 'Feels good to be back to my reporting station. Happy Autumn! Doug
