• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Your Weather News @ August 2026

My weather radio just went off here in my office and scared the crap outta me!!!! Severe thunderstorm warning.

A major storm system is bearing down on us here and it's really dark out. Our dogs can hear the distant thunder and, no sir, they don't like it one bit!!!

Dunno if I'm going to go downstairs to my gym and work out or not this morn. I hate to be down there and have the power go out.

Hey! It's as good of an excuse as any, right?
 
My cats are dumb.

They like a good thunderstorm. They sit glued to the window to watch the flashes of lightning. The thunder doesn’t seem to bother them at all.

When the heavy rain comes they just try to paw the rain as it runs down the outside of the windows.

Show them a cat carrier and it’s game on to catch them.

I think perhaps they are broken. They are unlike any cats I have had before.
 
The weather is "normal" here in Anacortes, WA. Currently: 62 degrees, 3-5 MPH sea breeze, humidity at 80%, and sunny skies. We experienced the usual morning low clouds but by 10 AM they started burning off very quickly. The high today will be 71 and the overnight low will be 55 degrees. I've been in my little rental here in Western Washington for a month and a half now. In that time, I have not had the need for either heat or AC in the house. Most afternoons are screen door days. But the house temperature stays right at 68-72 degrees. This is a good summer retreat. Stay safe..... Jim
 
Well, today is Wednesday morning, August 12th. Yesterday's rain showers were doable, but we still need more rain. We're supposed to get some afternoon rain showers today.

Currently, we have a cloudy sky at 69°F, with the humidity at 98%. Another in-house project is on the horizon for me.
Naturally, there's No Spyder Ryde Time today because of some old rain showers.

High today at 82°F with some rain.
Low of 67°F and showers.
I hope you have a good day.
Till Next Time my Friend. (y)
 
Oh boy, a carbon copy of yesterday. Another major thunderstorm heading our way right now! Looks just like yesterday!

In case anyone was wondering, I didn't work out yesterday and I might not today either. Yesterday's storm dumped almost an inch of rain on us in about an hour. The high rain rate during that storm was 7"/ hour. It was coming down in buckets!!! We didn't lose power though, it blinked a couple of times though.

More of the same today it seems.
 
Same here on the rain in Indiana. Buckets and Buckets full of Rain!
Indiana made the 'National Weather Service'. Many towns east of Indianapolis have been Flooded from all the rain yesterday. This morning the TV News People are saying that we are now under a flood warning.

Currently a little foggy at 66°F. Just a little rain shower now. I am good here and no flooding issues so far.

High today at 85°F with rain showers.
Low of 69°F and some more rain.
So off and on all day rain today 😒

Be Safe and Stay ahead of your weather. That's what I going to do.

Till Next Time my Spyder Forum Friends. (y)
 
Low clouds this morning in Anacortes. Humidity at 86% that's giving us dense fog in the surrounding waters. Currently it's 58 degrees and the wind is calm. The high today will be a pleasant 70 with lots of sunshine after this marine layer burns off. No rain in our forecast. Stay safe..... Jim
