Still dull, cold and windy here. Feels more like December rather than October!
Happy birthday wishes to your Dad Pen. Hope he has a great day!

Got a voice weather alert on my phone today - a new storm has formed in the gulf of Mexico, and evidently has a bead on Atlanta through Panama City Beach, FL.
This weekend should be another "fun" weather event. Hopefully, it's too early and their predictions are wrong.

I definitely hope they are wrong -stay safe.
Just coming to a end of a lovely week away in North Wales, in a place called Beddgelert. Weather has been changeable but not stopped us doing anything and only got damp just the once. Lovely place and the locals are very friendly. The views are spectacular and the history is absorbing and the icing on the cake is that the trains of the Welsh Highland Railway run along the bottom of the garden of the cottage
.......pure bliss.

Thanks! I always say weather "men" are the only profession on earth that are paid to be wrong almost every day.
In this case, I sincerely hope they continue their trend.
On a positive note, I'm pretty certain we have a pair of nesting bald eagles nearby. I see them carrying sticks and flying around every day near the lake. It's nesting season for them here.

I think it's absolutely amazing meteorologists are anywhere near as accurate as they are. Forty years ago, weather predictions were pretty much a joke. But now, with all the weather satellites in space and the advances in computer modeling programs, they are rarely all that off base.
The media tends to grab onto the worst possible scenario and spins it into an armageddon event. They all but ignore the possibility a storm might take a slightly different track than the one that would cause the most devastation. All it takes is for a major storm to move slightly off shore, and we just get a few rain showers rather than a super storm or blizzard of the century. However, we should plan for the most catastrophic possibility rather than assume a storm will pass by harmlessly.
Even watching the developing models of the Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria hurricanes, none of them were all that inaccurate. But the absolute best information on all these hurricanes came from Alan Sealls, Chief Meteorologist at WKRG-TV, Mobile, Alabama.

That's all down to a little organisation called NASA Satira. They don't just build and fly spaceships. In fact it's thanks to them that we know far more about our weather systems than ever before and can predict and benefit from that knowledge. Indeed, the worlds meteorological offices couldn't function without NASA's imput and they have probably saved more lives as a result of their imput than we have actually lost, yet how many times have you heard them boast about it? It's a pity the various government committee's (and the media) who are constantly trying to slash their budget never seem to take that into account!
