Yesterday's weather conditions - May 12 2010 Wednesday

In the last entry there was reference to the rains that had hit the area a day prior. Actually, when I published yesterday's article more storms were within earshot of where I was. The result overnight was a prediction of 1inch of rain per hour. When waking up, in the north suburbs, it was clear that heavy rains had descended upon the area. In driving my car to run a few early morning errands there were many noticeable areas where the sewers were backed up from too much water.

For the grapes, as young as they are, I am a bit worried. But we'll see. It could just be those May showers that we always sang about as children.

On another weather related note, the high in southeast Logan Square yesterday was 51 degrees, with a low of 37. The neighbor has more veggies planted than what we have with our Roma Tomatoes. Not sure how things are going with the neighbor's veggies. The cool air has certainly called for long sleeves and a jacket to get through the days. Soon this will all change. Last night, as well, there were some remarkable lightning bolts, flashes of light and thunder booms.

Another update.
