Ohio Clouds on Tuesday Afternoon

The land in Ohio is so flat, you can feel much smaller in the universe.

Tuesday’s Storm Was Intense

Walking in the Allegheny Cemetery this morning, we saw many downed branches and trees. Crews were working on storm cleanup. You could hear the chainsaws.

Those 70+ mph winds did a lot of damage Tuesday night. Some school districts have been closed for 3 days.

Power has been restored to many areas but there are still thousands who do not have power.

It’s a beautiful place to walk

Original post

“All done I think. Currently, 22° and 5 inches of snow that stopped about 11 PM last night. Most major roads are currently closed.

We had a snow sled that we bought at a yard sale about 30 years ago. At 22° outside, I am not planning on getting it out!  😁”

Unexpected text from a friend with this scene in Niceville, Florida!

Earlier it was 28 degrees and temp lower now

Almost 5 inches of snow and still accumulating. So glad we moved to Florida. A good day for soup and. . . . Homemade pumpkin bread! Your mom’s recipe. First time we’ve tried it and it is good!” Shuey

“Magnolia leaves are fairly large and collected quite a bit of snow until they shed it due to the weight. The end result is the driveway looks like the end of a snowball fight.” Shuey

It was almost 13 years ago that our family friend Shuey sent this wonderful photo of the Barred Owl and was guest blogger. It was the most viewed post that year!

And what a storm it was.

Once the rain came, it was intense.

We got home safely and were glad.

Clouds Might Get in Our Way

Pittsburgh is not in the path of totality for the eclipse tomorrow afternoon. All Air Bnbs and hotels in the path are booked according to a post I saw. Traffic is expected to be heavy. Our local weather forecasters are hoping for a break in the cloud cover. It will be another twenty years(Aug 23, 2044) before the next total eclipse.

I’m hoping to observe Bob the Feral Cat and see how he behaves.

You can watch the eclipse on television.

What are your plans? Where will you be? How will you protect your eyes?
