Another false spring here in northern New England, from having mid 50 degree Fahrenheit a couple days ago to just above freezing and supposedly getting 10 inches or so of snow in my area. Pretty sure it's messed up the wildlife here enough that the birds are eating at our bird feeder without care as I can walk right up to the window and they won't fly away. In just four days, we'll be back to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Not sure if this is the place to put it, but the solar eclipse today was pretty neat. Unfortunately, camera phones aren't the best at getting good photos during the totality period. The actual eclipse looked really cool to the eye. Speaking of cool, that's what happened to the temperature at that period when it dropped probably somewhere between 5 to 10 degrees. It got so dark, it looked like nighttime.

It was very cool. I was looking directly across Lake Erie and you could see the shadow of totality coming across the lake.
The lights on the nearby navigational beacon briefly turned on it was so dark.
We are already planning on going to Australia for 2028 - it passes really close to where my cousins live. I don't plan on being there, but last chance to see an eclipse over Sydney Harbour until 2858.

Lol. Rains all the time in the UK.
Hasn’t stopped raining here… it’s rainy season.
I think El Niño/La Niña is taking the piss now.

I thought someone would say that. This had a different nuance to it pissing it down on so many consecutive days, it was far from normal. The manner it was hammering it down, I am not surprised some areas got flooded. In the news recently, they showed a car with boot open and you could only make the top of the boot lid out it was so much under water on a dual carriageway! Today was so much calmer and looks to be the case tomorrow too.

Update:
My school is on the right at the highway marker 11.
My home is close to the river but thankfully on high ground (just north of where that photo ends) but that doesn’t immunise us from power and water cuts.
As far as I know it hasn’t been a major killer flood, with most people evacuating in time, but the property damage must be in the billions.
