Grand Falls, New Brunswick

Wednesday, 11:30 am: Here we are in our parallel weather universe in the Saint John Valley. It’s raining and I have been doing outside chores. Lucky for me the rain is light and I’m not saturated, just damp. A cup of hot tea will take the chill away.

For the five or six days my wife and I will be in New Hampshire and upstate New York near Lake Champlain. So for my readers there will be no weather blog until I return. We’re driving to Manchester to pick up my mother at the airport then drive over to see my brother and his wife in the Adirondacks. It will be a tour of sorts, and perhaps a bit of shopping and fine dining. No "Home Style" cooking on this trip.

In an earlier blog I mentioned how our stack of firewood partially collapsed due to the saturated ground beneath it giving way to the weight. Now it’s completely collapsed and looks like a big pile of wood. This is the first year this has happened, but then this has been an unusually mild winter and early spring. Our first mosquitoes have come uninvited into our house, and see us as an all you can eat buffet. Anyway, on to our weather and other diversions from this faux weatherman:
