As will be lamented in just a moment, Tuesday was yucky outside and yet blessedly content inside at the Roediger House. At mealtime, something comforting seemed called for, brought out earlier than normal because there was concern that the harsh weather would be all too likely to cause power outages. A favorable morning weigh-in granted me the privilege of a rare treat: Willie Mae’s Scotch House mac-n-cheese. Normally reserved to play second fiddle as a side dish, it was the main and only feature of lunch. It might have been the best I've ever made.
Once again an extended rain event overtook this area of North Carolina, fueled by strong weather patterns that were accompanied by severe wind gusts and that also sparked isolated tornadoes in various areas of the midwest and southeast. The photo above was Monday’s sunrise; the photo below was that same window’s view the next morning.
Tornado watches and severe thunderstorm warnings popped up through the afternoon, and my weather station regularly alerted me to where lightning was popping up within a 25-mile radius.
Quite a bit of precipitation fell over the long, long hours of this weather event. How nice it was to have the company of a couple of sweet pooches as the day began with hot coffee and soothing quiet.
