Thunderstorms

Source

I do not like this picture. Apparently both weather.com and accuweather.com are both calling for some kind of thunderstorm (PM, isolated, scattered) for the next 3-4 days, and the difference between 3 and 4 makes a huuuuge difference!

But I'm not too worried because our rain plan is still pretty good.

Thin Ice

Cyrus's mom's house is by a beautiful lake which had frozen over while we were there over the holidays! All I wanted was to walk on the ice, "Eternal Sunshine" style, and take a picture! So here it is:

Next time, I will not wear ballet flats to walk through half a foot of snow to get to the thin, cold ice. :) Even though my feet were soaked for the rest of the day, it was still worth it!

An Endless Summer Night?

As the kids complain about having indoor recess (What, would you rather be outside in the rain? Really?), I can't help but think about what fate the weather will bring us on our special day, especially since the majority of our wedding will be outside.

The Old Farmer's Almanac tells me that in the past two decades, it's rained on Aug. 22 four times ('07, '99, '94, '90). So looking purely at the odds, chances are higher that it won't rain. But the inconvenient truth is that the weather has just been nuts these days - and hurricane season has not been friendly!

Other potential threats are, of course, extreme heat, humidity and just general grossness. But seeing as though most of our ceremony and reception are going to happen as the sun's going down, it could end up being a Richard Marx kind of endless summer night.
