Mrs. Charm’s photo, celebrating yesterday’s brief shower in near South Austin, something quite rare this year in any part of the city.

Welcome rain

Posted on January 9, 2011 | Comments Off on Welcome rain

KVUERadar1911Most of the heavy rain is off to the east of I-35, but at least it’s clearing the air around the rancho of juniper pollen. Probably not for more than a day, tho’.

Rain

Posted on February 10, 2010 | Comments Off on Rain

No snow, after all. Not even any sleet. Both have dropped out of the forecast. Just rain, and little more than a drizzle, at that. Mr. B. is tre disappointed. Texas boys down here see magic in snow. They see it so seldom in this part of the state. I realize some people would be happy to do without it.

Dandy rain

Posted on September 22, 2009 | Comments Off on Dandy rain

Radio says we’ve had almost three inches since it began with the passage of a cold front overnight. Indeed, Mr. B. and I saw it running in the neighborhood gutters and ponding in the yards as I drove him to school this morning. Forecast shows more to come. We sure need it, and it’ll lower the temp nicely on this, the first day of fall. Was starting to get hot again.

Big rain

Finally departing west on the radar after coming in from the east about half an hour ago. Ponding all over the Back Forty, and out front. Really poured. Looks like at least an inch. Good show. We needed that.

Beneficial rain

Posted on March 12, 2009 | Comments Off on Beneficial rain

The flood advisory passed away as the rain pretty much stopped at the rancho by late morning. But more is expected overnight tonight and all day tomorrow–none of it likely to be heavy enough to cause flooding, according to KXAN meteorologist Jim Spencer. Just enough to green things up nicely for spring. Good deal.

Blessed rain

Posted on June 20, 2008 | Comments Off on Blessed rain

Moisture in the upper atmosphere over the Bay of Campeche seems to be slipping into South Central Texas, thanks to a slight westward shift in the ridge that’s made Texas so brutally hot and dry this month. Sprinkles over the rancho a few minutes ago while I was sitting reading on the patio. Alas, it is not expected to linger, nor to bring us much rain, though northwestern parts of the Hill Country, such as Mason and Richland Springs, have had more than an inch, according to the Lower Colorado River Authority. At least it could lower the daily high temperatures ten to fifteen degrees. Maybe.
