So who's enjoying the weather?

i dont think the water heater and the power supply are connected. you can have no power but your water will still run because the water heater isnt nesissarily connected to the power itself.

we have an electric water heater... no electric... no new hot water being made. Now we also have a well so we loose water altogether because the pump is electric.

We had a storm in the wee hours of the morning. Nice to get some measurable rain finally.

We havn't gotten much rain here lately, its always cloudy though

Here on the Texas coast they say we need 24" of rainfall to be out of drought.

And what are the chances of that much coming soon?

[Shuffler]

Not too good actually.

 Back during Alicia, several years back, we had 41 inches in 3 days.

I love the chilly nights and mild days.

We have a gas range and water tank so if power goes out we are all good.  I've looked into getting a wood burner to heat the house, but since I don't plan on being in this one for more than 5-6 years, I'll wait till we move.

Perhaps all the wood is outside the house.  It would be back-breaking labor to carry it through the house just to get it to the heater.

You seriously need work out some more if shoveling snow and carrying wood qualify as anything more than minor labor.

Here in Norway its rain, rain, and nothing but rain nowadays.. And I am tired sick of it! 
The rivers are flooding over, the hillside along the road I have to drive each day for work had several slides of dirt and trees down on the road, and is under a constant threat of new slides as the rain continues.. 

Next thing I know I'm gonna be sweeped into the flooded river by one of them one of these days if the rain does not calm down.. I keep one hand on the safetybelt release as I drive through that valley now.

Mud and rock slides are scary stuff.

Mud and rock slides are scary stuff.

Not as scary as panicking trying to find the seat belt release and not being able to find it

turned my electric blanket on last night for first time since spring... set it on 6/10 and sleep amazingly!

[Shuffler]

Cooled off alot here. Down to about 74 at night and 90 during the day.

[SAJ73]

My complaints here seemed to help. Today we had alot of sun.  It was just perfect the whole day, even if we got thunder and heavy rain again later tonight.. 

It seemed to have stopped now, so I cross my fingers for another sunny day tomorrow.
