Atmosphere finally moistened up. Took the garbage out at 9:30, tiny dots falling here in Hyde Park. Just took the dog out and actual snow flurries now.

Les, I am not sure if all the stores carry it. They stock it in the butcher case. On clearance, they don't label it as wagu, but look at the fine marbling and usually label as from Australia.

First time stopping in here. I have been doing steaks lately using Cook's Country method. I do a thick steak in a dry hot skillet and turn them every one to two minutes. You get a fantastic sear and an even cook. We do medium rare to rare. Also, Kroger's stocks wagu now. It shows up on clearance reg...

Remembered to bring in my rain gauge. Fortunately it was empty, so no freeze damage. Garden not so lucky.

Per Space Weather, we may be looking at another, possibly bigger, CME hit tonight. A combination of three pieces of energy merged and supposedly aimed at the Earth.

Per Space Weather most of the energy missed the earth. Very minimal effects. May be worth watching tonight as the experts can be off on timing.

Just checked my rain gauge, 1.45 inches with an on and off light drizzle here in Hyde Park.

My pleasure, finally glad to add something more than how much precipitation I in my back yard. I have the telescope equipment to observe the sun, but have not used it much after the eclipse. There was not much to see with the minimum. Going to get it out now that there is something to see. Too bad w...

This is a video taken from a satellite. It shows the CME from the side, it is the material moving at about the 2 o'clock position on the sun.

Not sure what each video denotes just yet , other than one hell of an explosion..and ejection. Can you imagine https://gfycat.com/blondexcitableattwatersprairiechicken https://gfycat.com/unluckyjollyherring I think the videos were taken at different wavelengths of light which shows details differen...

Oh it will rain Saturday. We have a family reunion early afternoon then a block party in the evening. Both outdoors of course.

Saw on Accuweather that snow at higher elevations in Canada just north of the border next few days.

Thunder, lightning, and heavy rain here in Hyde Park. Rained for over an hour. Checked the rain gauge, just over .6 of an inch. Wife takes all the credit, she watered the garden about a half hour before.

So far event total, 4.25 inches. I had one inch at dark last night. Seeing restoration trucks here and there in Hyde Park.

Well pouring again, heavier than before.

At the one inch mark so far today here in Hyde Park. We picked up .35 inch from the first round before 5. A close cloud to ground strike at one point tonight.

Got lucky in Hyde Park, shower went through around 2, dropped just over half an inch of rain. Won't have to water tonight.

Looks like a big tornado up towards Eric's neck of the woods.

I see someone at ILN has a wild hair:

Turned out better than expecting this morning. Had .1 inch this morning, now half of an inch total. Add that to almost a half earlier this week, doing well here in Hyde Park.

Picked up another quarter of an inch, for a total of .75 inches.

Picked up a half an inch so far today here in Hyde Park.

Had about an half hour of rain here. Two pretty good downpours. Caught me by surprise. Had sheets sitting outside to cover some flowers. Got them covered and a tarp over them.
