That's better.
Focusing on wet/dry and stuck fronts lately because we've been on the cold and wet side of the jet stream for what feels like 400 years. Probably more like 4 months.
Today the bloody front finally moved! Looks like we may actually get 4 days of sunlight! Better appreciate it while it lasts.
= = = = =
Later: We got only 3 days of sun. But we are NOT COMPLAINING! Staying wet not only means good plant growth, it means very few wildfires this year. In fact, a local fire crew tried to run their annual wildfire skills training ... but couldn't do it because the vegetation is too wet to get a back-fire going.

NOAA has a beautiful map here showing exactly where the jet stream has been stuck, and the effects on both sides! ¶ 3:24 AM
