Finally breezy and rainy in Columbus. The most glorious time of the year.

lol.. is this sarcasm or do you actually like this? In Cleveland, I greatly dislike now until May. My body craves sunshine and it seemingly disappears for 90% of the foreseeable future.

We got about a 7' storm surge, so some of the houses/condos closer to the water got close to or barely submerged. We sit at 14' so no issues for us. We had a little landscape damage, and my neighbor lost a gutter and a few downspouts.

No damage to my home. I turned it into a fortress after Ian came through.

Did not lose power. The power company did a great job fortifying the grid after Ian forced a complete rebuild.

Good to hear.. glad you're safe an no great messes to deal with.

Lol well I'm Irish so my body craves clouds and rain.

I hear some chainsaws working maybe a block north of us, could be normal stuff though.  I have not been out yet.  Still cloudy.

Some trees in the park are soft wood types and get split open in winds pretty often.

They just installed another of these "neighborhood information screens" near us, flat panel displays that show stuff around the area, touch sensitive, they will even take your photo if you want.  Pretty neat really, the first one was squashed by a car, so this one is two feet "inland" and has a protective pole.

I definitely prefer cooler weather, and don't mind when it's overcast. I tend to be sensitive to heat, and seek shade when it's sunny out as I seem to overheat just from being in direct sun even if it's not all that hot out. 

The worst part of the year for me in CA is pretty much July through the first half of September. Too hot for me. 

But the rest of the year is perfect. 

Compared to the Midwest, where Jul->Sep is horrible (and humid, and mosquitoes), but Dec->Feb is also horrible, I think I get the better end of the bargain weather-wise lol.
