O, the weather outside is...

Got some bombogenesis going on here in the PNW.

It's supposed to start raining overnight and continue until we get 1.5" or more. That will be our first significant rainfall since August. Not enough to end the drought but will at least tamp down the fire warnings for a while.

As things begin to turn for the year, it's nice to have stuff cooking all day and warming the house, rather than wanting to avoid cooking to avoid cooling the house. It's sweet potato and crock pot chili season!

We got some snow this morning which was really cool for us recovering Floridians. It was supposed to miss us, but it was snowing pretty good for a couple of hours. Nothing stuck to the ground, but my wife and daughter got to enjoy playing outside while I was stuck at work.

You're going to have to change your location info as I got rather confused to read that Port St Lucie got snow

And the weather has bit me in the butt a couple of ways. After Milton destroyed my patio cover which tore up part of my pool heating solar panels we had the panels removed so we could get the main house roof replaced. Main house roof got done last week, all good. Pool solar panels got repaired and reinstalled yesterday, all good too... but not. This morning was pretty cool, in the forties. The solar panel on the roof was dribbling water at one of the connectors. Contacted the company that reinstalled the panels, haven't heard from them.

Noticed this afternoon that the pool level was low, so put in a couple hours of water from the hose, then left to go shopping and then worked around the house. Just checked, I lost about two inches of water level in about three hours . That's more than eight hundred gallons.

This is weather related because for the past few years it seems like as soon as the pool temp dropped into the sixties (which it was this morning) I get some minor leak. But this is a stonking major leak. And of course I discovered it just after American Leak Detectors closed their office and won't be back in till Monday

I know, first world problems. But I needed to vent
