  1. We have a week of sunny in the 70’s. Wow! Color me giddy!
  2. On November 12, here on Earth, it will be Mars’s New Year and mark the start of its 38th year since astronomers created a calendar for the planet. A Martian year is about 687 Earth days, and because a Martian day (a sol) is a little longer than our own (24 hours, 39 minutes), there are about 668 sols in a Martian year. How it works: The Red Planet’s New Year coincides with its vernal equinox, a date that astronomers chose intentionally to start on April 11, 1955. Spring equinoxes, when the sun’s position in the sky crosses the planet’s celestial equator, are a nice, even way to track dates of celestial bodies, writes astronomer and columnist Phil Plait. Who knew? Mars has four seasons like Earth, but they each last twice as long. Spring is particularly rough on the Red Planet–it’s the start of the dust season, and dust storms can grow to encompass the whole planet. -Scientific American
  3. From NBC. A Wet Texas Forecast “Rain is just about guaranteed today. Patchy drizzle and spotty showers are possible this morning across DFW. Steady rain and occasional thunderstorms will remain in place much of the day farther west. For DFW, there may be some breaks in the rain around midday, but then a round of heavy thunderstorms is likely by late afternoon and this evening. Torrential downpours will pose a risk for flooding, so watch for high water on the roads. 1-2" of rain is possible for DFW, the heavier amounts (3-5") farther west.”
  4. The Big Bend area looks so bad. I’m afraid if we get no rainfall, it will spread in rapid fashion.
  5. 62*. Scattered rain. Very welcomed. Humidity in the 80’s.
  6. I’m having to water much as I did in summer to keep the dry die off away when it freezes. Just crazy. We need rain so bad.
  7. I hope it turns soon as well. It’s terribly dry in Texas. I’m concerned we’ll see grassfires in winter as well as spring.
  8. A stunning sunny morning 52* Clear and ‘painfully’ bright! High today 72. It doesn’t get any better than this in Texas.
  9. We dodged the severe weather. Eastern Oklahoma got to play dodgeball with the storms. The rain was very welcomed. Temps will moderate for the next 10 days in the 70’s.
  10. It’s beginning to boil up. From Local NBC Weather A TORNADO WATCH is in effect for North Texas, including Dallas and Fort Worth, until 6 p.m. Today brings a concern for severe weather across North Texas. A powerful storm system will approach later today, bringing widespread thunderstorms around midday and this afternoon. These storms could be severe with a threat for damaging winds, hail, and the possibility of tornadoes. The timing for these storms in DFW is generally between now into 6 p.m. Stay alert!
  11. We have a 60% chance of rain tomorrow and 100% Monday. Temps 77-80* Everything is soaking this up. Very much needed all over No. Texas.
  12. Currently 73. Showers. Really need this.
  13. 75*. Overcast. 50% chance rain. Increasing rain chances through Monday.
  14. Wow. That’s a serious storm. We’ve had some very big ones this year.
  15. After temps in the 80’s yesterday, and some light rain, we’re looking at 78 and sunshine the next 2 days!
