If you live near rivers or streams, keep a weather eye out for flooding. We live on a hill, so except for some water in our basement we are fine. We have a granite foundation, so water comes in makes a layer on the pea gravel floor and drains out. Life is good.

How High Is the Water Mama
N.O.A.A. predicted snow for our area, but as I noted last night the line was very close to us on their forecast map. We did get the rain instead of the 2 feet of snow, which is what we would have had if had remained as snow. For today, N.O.A.A. has forecast a wintry mix for Wilton, Maine, but we are having heavy rain instead. The temperature is forecast to reach only the mid-thirties, and the cloud cover to remain at 100%. It does appear that except for any frozen precipitation N.O.A.A. has it about right. We are getting drenched, and wetter by the minute.
My Weather Stick points DOWN, in response to over 90% relative humidity. The Weather Station has activated its storm alert while the other two electronic instruments forecast foul weather, and all three show the barometric pressure falling. I guess I will take my cue from them and suggest a dreary, dismal day with lots of clouds and rain for the future.
