5:30 pm – snuggled inside with all the dogs. So good about coming in before sunset. All I have to do is open the door. Nice, although Dakota REFUSES o let anyone else on the bed with us! Okay, weather report from this afternoon’s forecast discussion. It still doesn’t appear that it will have as much impact on our more southern climes.
BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE HINTING THAT THERE COULD BE STRONG WINDS SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY ALONG WITH SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF RAIN. HOWEVER...THERE ARE STILL SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS
2:00 pm – this posted on the NOAA forecast discussion, apparently after or around the time of my last post. This potential may be only for areas north of us, but those of us in Big Sur should monitor this:
THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR A SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM OVER THE WEEKEND... PARTICULARLY SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY. ONCE AGAIN...THE MODELS ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS...HOPEFULLY THE 12Z ECMWF HELPS WITH THE DETAILS.
10:00 am – Correction, there is a 40% chance of rain for tonight, then slightly less chance for the rest of the week, including Sunday. At least nothing significant is being reported for now. A little breather, an opportunity to dry out somewhat, and catch up on other aspects of our lives, which for me is about 2000 doggie kisses and hugs!
5:00 am – Now that my beloved Dakota is back, I will return to the usual programming. The winds have been significant all morning, but no indication of rain.
There is only a possibility of scattered showers in the forecast for the rest of the week, although potential rain on Sunday. And CHP is reporting no incidences at this time.
Have a great day, everyone. I certainly will, now that I have found my dog.
Sunny in PG at 7:45am. Give Dakota and the rest of the pack a HUGE ruffin’ of the fur from me! 🙂
If I were god, and I decided to send your dog back, I would make it seem random and plausable. That would make it divine intervention and a miracle. I’m not particularly religious, but This one qualifies for me. Given the number of people who depend you, you were due. Chris
Life has miracles. Every time I create a painting, I see that. I have also seen so many so called “coincidences” in my life that I have developed a belief that there could be what we call “spirits” of “angels” around. They may act as Chris said in “ramdom and plausable” ways so “free will” in our universe is not all tied up with too many spiritual interventions. I still look back at the time I did that rescue in ’96. …What got into me to make me get out of bed to check out the surf when I was miserable with the flu?! What put me in that exact spot at the exact moment to be there to be able save a life? I could get all worked up and tell dozens of stories. But you should already know what I mean. Dakota has a “guardian angel”. You have been blessed!
